Access controls is a non-glamorous but critical piece of what we're building. Currently implementing automatic access sync-ing for a few sources like Google Drive, Confluence, Jira, and Notion to start. By matching document-access in the source to users and groups, and then to emails, we can finally map Danswer users to document level access. So someone searching in Danswer will only get results based on the set of documents they have access to in the source tool.

For Slack it would look something like: get the users in the Slack channel, map those Slack users to users in Danswer. Then only those users in Danswer will be able to get results from that channel.
