Is that something you want to open source?

What are other potential platforms?

Or better ssotax.org which is already way ahead.

Depending on the point of view it can also be a strength. Actually many of our customers like that we're in Slack because their people are already there:

- no login required to request an access - they don't need to "learn a new application"

So for end users that's great. There is still a web app for admins with more details.

But I can see where you're coming from. We plan to offer an alternative to Slack to be independent if the customers want that.

Slack is required for AccessOwl. It's used for things like approval workflows, task management and notifications in general.

What do you use instead?

From a legal point of view that might be true, but I believe people are not aware that this is a problem. They just register, check the "Agree terms of service" box and do whatever they want to do. I saw that often, especially with Marketing.

Which makes it even worse because you cannot detect that then :/

Shouldn't people just be able to try out new things? How can a company be innovative otherwise? And at a specific point (e.g. putting customer data into it), they need to start a proper vendor assessment process.
