## Choose who can request work

In Profile Settings → Messaging → Slack, expand the channel assignment. Use Who can request work to choose Channel participants or Selected people. The picker can search workspace people and shows guest labels and selection checks.


## Share conversation controls

Turn on Let teammates use conversation controls when the permitted participants should be able to continue shared work. Save the settings. Participation is checked when a request is handled, so removing someone changes their ability to request new work.


## Link a Growthub identity

Where offered, use the private connection flow from Slack, sign in to the intended Growthub account and confirm in Slack as the same person. Linking identifies the participant. It does not grant private Pages, Knowledge, provider accounts or organization membership.


## Review the audience

The configured execution account still does the work. Choose source material and output destinations appropriate to the permitted channel audience. Use the existing Page, Knowledge and team controls for additional direct access.
