 You can enable optional stack management features via the product console by configuring GitHub OAuth. This setup will allow the console to verify users via GitHub OAuth.
 
+. The stack management features communicate with the CLI server so it's important to link:/docs/ref/general/configuration/github-authorization.html[configure the CLI service with authorization] before you continue.
+
 . From your GitHub organization page, create an OAuth Application in **Settings -> OAuth App -> New OAuth Apps**. Note: the OAuth GitHub app will need to be created in the same GitHub organization that your stack hub is in. If the OAuth GitHub app and the stack hub repository **need** to be in different GitHub orgs, then the OAuth GitHub app can request access to data in the org with the application stacks. For more information see the GitHub doc - https://help.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-organizations-and-teams/about-oauth-app-access-restrictions[OAuth App Access and Restrictions].
 
     * `Application name` can be anything, a suggestion is: `kabanero console`.
