# Amazon Quick Slack extension author guide
<a name="slack-extension-author-guide"></a>

As an Amazon Quick author, you can deploy Quick Slack extensions after your admin establishes the foundational connection to your organization's Slack workspace. Your capabilities depend on the permission level granted by your administrator.

With **limited permissions** (view, share, delete only), you can manage basic extension operations through the landing page after admin completes all setup. With **full permissions** (deploy, view, share, delete, edit), you can complete the Slack OAuth application deployment, rename extensions, and access all editing features.

Author capabilities for Slack extensions:
+ Deploy extensions to your organization's Slack workspace using OAuth (requires full permissions).
+ Customize extension settings - names, descriptions (requires full permissions).
+ Manage sharing and access permissions (available with limited or full permissions).

**Note**  
Before you deploy a Slack extension as an author, your Quick admin must [configure Amazon Quick access to Slack](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksuite/latest/userguide/slack-extension.html).
