Access levels
When connecting an MCP server, an admin picks its access level.
- Global. One shared connection for everyone in the organization. The admin sets the credentials once and all members use them. Pick this for shared infrastructure, like a team Slack workspace.
- User. Each member supplies their own credentials before they can use the server's tools. Pick this when each person should authenticate as themselves, like personal GitHub.
