Slack Migration FAQ

Fri, 02 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Mac Admins Slack moves to Slack’s Enterprise plan starting Friday 9 October 2026 at 11:30 p.m. EDT. Slack will be fully down for about 18 hours, and direct messages need roughly 10 more hours to catch up.

Follow progress on the live status page while Slack is down.

Before 9 October: make sure you have a Slack password, and screenshot any custom profile fields you want to keep.

Before you go

Make sure you have a Slack password. Signing in with an emailed code stops working after the migration. How to set one.
Screenshot your profile if you’ve filled in custom fields such as a GitHub link; they don’t carry over.

When Slack is back

Go to macadmins.slack.com and choose “Enter email and password”. The green “Sign in with SSO” button is for the board and moderators only.
Sign in again on every device: desktop app, phone and browser.
Missing direct messages are still on their way; they catch up over about 10 hours.

Everything else is in the Slack Migration FAQ. Can’t get in at all? Contact the admin team.

Mac Admins around the world organize local meetups and user groups to share knowledge, build connections, and support each other in person.

Many groups coordinate through the Mac Admins Slack — look for channels with a city or region prefix (e.g. #seattle, #london, #austin) to find a group near you.

This page will eventually contain a list of known user groups. If you would like your group to be listed here, please drop us a note using the method below.

Introduction

This community is a complement to the Freenode IRC channels, the various MDM and package management user forums, the Facebook groups, and the mailing lists and seeks to provide a safe, friendly community for Mac administrators, enthusiasts, and developers to interact with one another.

We hope that you find the community to be enriching to your personal and professional lives, and above all else a place of camaraderie where our collective knowledge and differences are celebrated in a positive, welcoming environment.

Locked Out of Slack?

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Migration weekend, 9–11 October 2026: Slack is offline for everyone while it moves to the Enterprise plan. Check the status page and the Slack Migration FAQ before writing to us.

Can’t get into the Mac Admins Slack? Whether you’ve lost access to your account, changed jobs and email addresses, or never received your invitation, we can help — no Slack login required.

Because the issue is that you can’t reach Slack, send us an email instead. Every message becomes a tracked support ticket, and a volunteer will get back to you.
