Start with an app that contains a small, recognizable record you can retrieve
safely. An app is usable only when three separate decisions are all in place:
Available: Stackyapper makes the app available to the workspace.
Connected: The required organization or personal provider credential is
configured and healthy.
Granted: The user or one of their groups is allowed to use the required
tool.
A credential does not automatically grant tool access, and a tool grant cannot
operate without a valid provider connection.
The Apps page is where the first two decisions happen. The chip on each
row tells you which apps still need a credential before any grant can work.
Confirm the active workspace
Check the workspace selector at the top of the portal sidebar and select
your company workspace. See the
workspace caution.
Find the app
Open Apps. Search for the provider or select All apps to browse the
catalog. Review its availability and credential ownership before enabling
it.
Enable the app if required
If the app is available but disabled, an owner can select Enable. Some
apps show Approval required and remain unavailable until the access
request is approved.
Connect the provider
The button depends on the app:
App type
Button
OAuth apps that authorize through a provider redirect
Configure OAuth
Other organization apps
Configure
Personal apps
Set up your connection
Enter only the fields requested in the Connection tab and complete
provider authorization when redirected.
Check the connection state
Return to Apps and verify that the app reports Configured or
Connected without a Needs attention warning. If it shows
Ready to configure (or Admin setup required for non-admins),
the organization connection still needs setup.
Grant narrow read access
Open the app's Permissions tab or go to Users & Groups. Grant your
test user or test group only the read tools needed for the first request.
Avoid write, destructive, and credential-sensitive tools during onboarding.
Organization and personal connections
Organization connection: one workspace-managed credential is used for
authorized users in that workspace.
Personal connection: each user authorizes their own provider account.
For a personal app, an admin can enable the app and grant its tools,
but the individual user must still complete their own connection.
Verify before continuing
The correct workspace remains selected.
The app is enabled, its connection is healthy, and the read grant is in
place (steps above).
No broader access was granted accidentally.
Beta identifies the app's support and verification stage. It does not bypass
workspace policy, credential requirements, or confirmation controls.
