Overview

When you connect a tool or service to Righthand, your credentials and data are protected at every layer. All connection data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and you have full control over who can access each connection and what they can do with it.

How Connections Are Secured

Encryption

All credentials — including OAuth tokens, API keys, and passwords — are encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption. Data in transit between your browser, the Righthand platform, and connected services is always encrypted over TLS.

OAuth by Default

Righthand uses OAuth as the default connection method wherever possible. OAuth means your password is never shared with or stored by Righthand — instead, the service issues a scoped access token that can be revoked at any time.

Access Controls

Every connection has three layers of control that let you decide exactly who can use it and how.

Connection Scope

The scope determines who owns the connection:
  • Personal — The connection belongs to you. Only you can assign or remove it from a Righthand.
  • Righthand — The connection was created specifically for a single Righthand and is meant to be used by that Righthand alone.
  • Team — A shared connection accessible to the whole team. Any team member can assign it to their Righthands.

Righthand Access

You control which Righthands on your team have access to each connection. A connection can be shared with multiple Righthands or restricted to just one.

Tool Permissions

For OAuth connections, each tool within the integration has its own permission level:
PermissionBehavior
YesThe Righthand can use this tool freely without asking.
AskThe Righthand will request approval from a manager before using this tool.
NoThe Righthand cannot use this tool at all.
This gives you granular control — for example, you might allow a Righthand to read emails but require approval before sending them.
For a full walkthrough of configuring these settings, see Connection Permissions.

Revoking Access

You can deactivate or remove any connection at any time from the Connections page. Removing a connection immediately revokes the Righthand’s access to that service.
