yes, Slack, and other productivity apps, I can not comment on details
The user signs in once to their Microsoft Entra ID account (often when they log into their Windows machine or open their browser). After that initial authentication, they can seamlessly access virtually all their work applications like Microsoft 365 apps,GIT, Jira, Zoom, Slack, etc. without re-entering credentials. Features like Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) and My Access (for requesting access to applications or groups) empower users to manage common identity tasks themselves.
