Enable SaaS API Data Loss Prevention for Slack Tenants

To apply DLP SaaS API rules to files in a Slack tenant, you must authorize the tenant using the procedure described below. Once the tenant is authorized, for each file residing in the tenant, when Secure Access finds data in violation of an enabled SaaS API rule it will enforce the action of that rule.
