<a name="config-cbt-investigations"></a>

To set up Amazon Q operational investigations in your chat applications, you must add the following policies to enable two-way communication between investigations and Amazon Q Developer in chat applications. You can add these policies during step 2 of the Amazon Q Developer in chat applications channel configuration process for [Slack](slack-setup.md#slack-client-setup2) and [Microsoft Teams](teams-setup.md#teams-client-setup-2) when you define your user permissions or by editing your configurations' **Permissions** in the Amazon Q Developer in chat applications console.
+ Add **Notification permissions** and **Amazon Q operations assistant permissions** as policy templates when you define your user permissions. For more information about Channel role templates, see [Role setting](understanding-permissions.md#role-settings). 
+ Attach the **AIOpsOperatorAccess** managed IAM policy to your guardrail policies in Amazon Q Developer in chat applications. This grants permissions to Amazon Q Developer in chat applications to interact with Amazon Q operational investigations and perform required actions on your behalf.
