# Make a goal private

Hide a goal from everyone except its owners and creator, and share it with chosen people or teams.

A private goal is visible only to its owners, its creator, and the people and teams you share it with.

**Before you start:** an admin turns on **Private Goals** in Settings → Goals → Advanced features. Roles that can manage product settings (Owners and Admins by default) see that page. See [Advanced features](https://help.brev.io/settings-product/#advanced).

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> The pill reads Private, with a number badge for the people and teams it's shared with.

- People and teams it's shared with can see it and add check-ins.
- Org Admins don't see it unless you share it with them.
- Anyone else who opens a link to it sees "Goal not found".
