You don't have to do any authorization -- you can skip .guix-
authorization and channel introductions.  However, by skipping this,
you lose some nice security properties, so I cannot recommend this if
the channel is published over the Internet or something for other
people.  But if it's purely local, then skipping it is probably fine.

Greetings,
Maxime.
