receive a resource sharing interface request from a first client, wherein the resource sharing interface request is associated with: a sending user identifier, a first organization identifier, associated with a first organization, and a group-based communication resource identifier associated with a group-based communication resource that is to be shared with a second organization that is different than the first organization;
generate a shareable resource based at least in part on the resource sharing interface request, wherein the shareable resource is sent to at least a second client associated with a second organization identifier, the second organization identifier associated with the second organization, to invite the second organization to join the group-based communication resource;
in response to receiving a confirmation indication from at least the second client, generate a shared resource candidate request associated with the group-based communication resource;
transmit, to at least one admin client, an authorization interface renderable for display by the at least one admin client, wherein the authorization interface is associated with the shared resource candidate request, and wherein the at least one admin client is associated with a respective admin user identifier associated with the shared resource candidate request; and
in response to receiving an authorization confirmation associated with the shared resource candidate request from the at least one admin client, send an update to a group-based communication repository, the update including a sharing approval indication associated with the group-based communication resource identifier, wherein the sharing approval indication indicates that the group-based communication resource is shared between the first organization and the second organization.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
cause rendering of data associated with the shareable resource to a group-based communication interface associated with the sending user identifier and a receiving user identifier associated with the at least the second client.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the sending user identifier is a first non-admin user identifier and the receiving user identifier is a second non-admin user identifier.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
receive a shareable resource access request associated with the shareable resource from a third client.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the shareable resource comprises a uniform resource locator, and wherein the shareable resource access request is received in response to the third client accessing a hyperlink associated with the uniform resource locator.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the confirmation indication associated with the shareable resource comprises a workspace identifier associated with the a receiving user identifier associated with the at least the second client.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the resource sharing interface request comprises a channel sharing interface request comprising a group-based communication channel identifier.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the shareable resource comprises metadata associated with one or more policies of a group-based communication channel associated with the group-based communication channel identifier.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the respective admin user identifier is associated with the first organization identifier.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
cause rendering of a graphical user interface element associated with the resource sharing interface request to a group-based communication interface at the first client.
11. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a resource sharing interface request from a first client, wherein the resource sharing interface request is associated with: a sending user identifier, a first organization identifier associated with a first organization, and a group-based communication resource identifier associated with a group-based communication resource that is to be shared with a second organization that is different than the first organization;
generating a shareable resource based at least in part on the resource sharing interface request, wherein the shareable resource is sent to at least a second client associated with a second organization identifier, the second organization identifier associated with the second organization, to invite the second organization to join the group-based communication resource;
in response to receiving a confirmation indication from the at least the second client, generating a shared resource candidate request associated with the group-based communication resource;
transmitting, to at least one admin client, an authorization interface renderable for display by the at least one admin client, wherein the authorization interface is associated with the shared resource candidate request, and wherein the at least one admin client is associated with a respective admin user identifier associated with the shared resource candidate request; and
in response to receiving an authorization confirmation associated with the shared resource candidate request from the at least one admin client, sending an update to a group-based communication repository, the update including a sharing approval indication associated with the group-based communication resource identifier, wherein the sharing approval indication indicates that the group-based communication resource is shared between the first organization and the second organization.
12. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising an executable portion configured to:
receive a resource sharing interface request from a first client, wherein the resource sharing interface request is associated with: a sending user identifier, a first organization identifier associated with a first organization, and a group-based communication resource identifier associated with a group-based communication resource that is to be shared with a second organization that is different than the first organization;
generate a shareable resource based at least in part on the resource sharing interface request, wherein the shareable resource is sent to at least a second client associated with a second organization identifier, the second organization identifier associated with the second organization, to invite the second organization to join the group-based communication resource;
in response to receiving a confirmation indication from the at least the second client, generate a shared resource candidate request associated with the group-based communication resource;
transmit, to at least one admin client, an authorization interface renderable for display by the at least one admin client, wherein the authorization interface is associated with the shared resource candidate request, and wherein the at least one admin client is associated with a respective admin user identifier associated with the shared resource candidate request; and
in response to receiving an authorization confirmation associated with the shared resource candidate request from the at least one admin client, send an update to a group-based communication repository, the update including a sharing approval indication associated with the group-based communication resource identifier, wherein the sharing approval indication indicates that the group-based communication resource is shared between the first organization and the second organization.
13. The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the computer-readable program code portions comprising the executable portion are further configured to:
cause rendering of data associated with the shareable resource to a group-based communication interface associated with the sending user identifier a receiving user identifier associated with the at least the second client.
14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the sending user identifier is associated with a first non-admin user and the receiving user identifier is associated with a second non-admin user.
