# @ your teammates, and manage access by asking

_Release #080, October 3, 2026. Viktor app, Admin & security_

Type @ in the web chat to mention Slack teammates, and admins can now manage who uses Viktor straight from chat.

- **@ mentions.** Type @ in the composer, pick a Slack teammate, and Viktor knows exactly which Julia you mean.
- **Access, by asking.** Admins can block people, edit allowlists, adjust guest and Slack Connect access, or revoke invites in chat.
- **Drafts first.** Every access change shows as a draft and applies only after an admin approves it.

## Why @ matters
Names are ambiguous. Two Julias, three Alexes. An @ mention hands Viktor the exact person, so a "remind Julia on Friday" lands with the right one.

## Admin work, in plain words
Access settings used to live behind a few screens. Now an admin can say what they want, see the draft, and approve it.
