Overview
Every connection has three layers of control: scope, Righthand access, and tool permissions. Together, these let you decide who owns the connection, which Righthands can use it, and exactly what they’re allowed to do with it.Connection Scope
The scope determines who owns and controls the connection. When you add a connection, it defaults to Personal. There are three scopes:Personal
This account belongs to you. Only you can add or remove this connection from a Righthand.Example: Your personal Gmail account.
Righthand
This account was created specifically for a single Righthand. It is meant to be used by that Righthand alone.Example: A dedicated GitHub account for a Righthand Software Engineer.
Team
This is a shared account accessible to the whole team. Any team member can assign it to their Righthands.Example: A shared database connection that doesn’t need per-user access.
Righthands understand the sensitivities around connection permissions. They will respect the boundaries of each scope when working with your colleagues.
Righthand Access
Toggle which Righthands on your team have access to a given connection. This lets you share a single connection with multiple Righthands or restrict it to just one.
Tool Permissions
For OAuth connections, each tool within the OAuth scope has its own permission level. This gives you granular control over what your Righthands can actually do with a connection. Each tool can be set to one of three permission levels:| Permission | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Yes | The Righthand can use this tool freely without asking. |
| Ask | The Righthand will request approval from the manager before using this tool. |
| No | The Righthand cannot use this tool at all. |
Managing Connections
You can view and manage all of your connections from the Connections page in the platform. From there you can:- Rename a connection
- Activate or deactivate it
- Change the scope
- Update Righthand access
- Adjust tool permissions
- Remove the connection entirely
