A dedicated account gives a Righthand its own identity and audit trail in a service. Use one when you want activity, access, and ownership separated from a manager’s personal account.

​
Before you begin

  • Confirm that the service permits the account type and automated use you intend.
  • Decide who will retain the password, recovery method, and administrator access.
  • Grant the minimum organization, workspace, or repository access needed.

​
Create and connect the account

1

Find the Righthand's contact details

Open Righthands, select the Righthand, and note their email address and phone number.
2

Create the provider account

Sign up with the Righthand’s email address or phone number when the provider permits it. Use a clear display name so teammates can recognize the Righthand’s activity.
3

Complete verification

If the provider sends an email or text, open the Righthand’s Activity to find the incoming message. Complete the verification in your own browser.
4

Secure account recovery

Store the password and recovery codes in a team-controlled password manager. Follow the provider’s MFA policy; do not rely on the Righthand as the only recovery path.
5

Add the connection

Go to Connections, select Add, find the service, and authorize the new account.
6

Set Righthand scope

Open the new connection, change Scope to Righthand, choose the Righthand, and review tool permissions.
7

Test access

Ask the Righthand to perform a small read-only task and confirm the result in Activity.
Do not send passwords, recovery codes, or access tokens to a Righthand through text, email, or chat. Use the platform’s connection controls or the provider’s authorization flow.
GitHub uses a dedicated setup under Manage → GitHub. See Setting Up GitHub.
