The disclosure generally relates to an enterprise group-based communication system. Group-based communication channels may be created and access by client devices associated with users within the enterprise group-based communication system that have various identifiers associated therewith.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for authorizing and authenticating user communication within an enterprise group-based communication platform

Method, apparatus and computer program product for multi-modal user authorization are described herein. For example, the apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory including program code. The at least one non-transitory memory and the program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, receive a request to enable a first client device associated with a first user profile to access a group-based communication system; determine a first access privilege status for the first user profile; in response to determining that the first access privilege status is a general access privilege status, transmit, to the first client device, first user interface data associated with a general access user interface; and in response to determining that the first access privilege status is a limited access privilege status, transmit, to the first client device, second user interface data associated with a limited access user interface.

Multi-modal user authorization in group-based communication systems

Various embodiments are directed to group-based data storage systems configured for maintaining data exchanged between client devices within channel-specific shards each corresponding with one or more group-identifiers to provide group-based access to those channel-specific shards and for applying group-specific policies for data stored within those channel-specific shards. Membership of particular users within particular groups and within particular channels may be monitored such that access to particular channel shards may be controlled based on group-memberships of the users, and access to data stored within particular channel shards may be controlled based on channel-memberships of the users.

Data storage architecture for an enterprise communication system

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are provided for managing geographically distributed data storage in a group-based communication system. In some embodiments, an apparatus physically located in a first geographic area defined by a first geographic boundary is provided. In embodiments, upon determining that an entity identifier associated with a message is associated with a geographic data storage policy, the apparatus is configured to transmit a geographic data residency message package comprising message data of the message to a geographic data residency server physically located within a second geographic area defined by a second geographic boundary. The second geographic area is associated with the geographic data storage policy. In some embodiments, the apparatus is configured to update the message data of the message with residency token data received from the geographic data residency server.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for management of and search index generation based on geographically distributed data

Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for encryption key management within a group-based communication platform.
