Manage connections
Review every connection available to you, keep each one healthy, and change who owns or can use it without signing in to the app again.
Where to find it: Connections in the sidebar.
A connection is one authorized account for an app. Elaichi keeps the credentials in a secure vault. This page is where you manage a connection's status, access, owner and lifecycle.
Read the connection list
You see the connections you own and the connections shared with you, directly, through a team you belong to, or with everyone in your organization. No organization role widens that.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Connection | The app and the connection's label |
| Access | Who the connection is shared with, as a short phrase such as "2 teams · 14 members". If you cannot see the list of shares, it shows how you got access instead. |
| Status | Active, Awaiting sign-in, Needs sign-in, Disconnected or Setup incomplete. A blocked connector shows Restricted. A connector that was removed from the catalog shows Unavailable. |
| Created | When the connection was added |
Hover over a status to read what happened and how to fix it. Choose a row to open the connection's page.
To narrow the list, use Search by name or connector…, the status filter (All statuses), the connector filter and the owner filter (Any owner). Choose Clear all filters to start over. Choose Refresh connections to reload the list.
Use the row actions
Open the actions menu on a row. Which actions you see depends on your access to that connection.
| Action | Who sees it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Open | Everyone | Opens the connection's page. |
| Rename | The owner and anyone with Edit access | Changes the connection's label. |
| Reconnect or Finish sign-in | The owner and anyone with Edit access, when the status allows it. Only the owner sees Finish sign-in. | Runs the app's sign-in again and rebinds the same connection. |
| Manage access | The owner, and anyone with Edit access who also has connection:share |
Opens the dialog for sharing the connection and transferring ownership. |
| Delete | The owner only | Deletes the connection. |
A connection that needs a repair also shows a Reconnect or Finish sign-in icon next to its menu.
Share a connection
- Open the row's actions menu and choose Manage access.
- In Add people or teams…, pick one or more members, teams, or Everyone.
- Choose a level: View, Use or Edit.
- Choose Share.
To remove a share, remove that person or team from the list in the same dialog. See Connect an account for what each level allows.
Transfer ownership
Transfer gives a connection to a colleague without signing in to the app again. It changes who owns the connection and nothing else. Everyone who could reach the connection before can still reach it.
- Open the row's actions menu on a connection you own and choose Manage access.
- Choose Transfer ownership… at the bottom left of the dialog.
- Under New owner, pick a member. Ownership always belongs to one person, never to a team or to the organization.
- Leave Keep my access selected if you still want to run the connection's tools. You keep Use access as an ordinary share, and the new owner can remove it.
- Read the warning about toolboxes, if one appears. Toolboxes you pinned this connection into can stop working if you give it away and keep no access.
- Choose Transfer ownership.
The connection's owner changes to the new member. Toolboxes that use the connection keep working.
To let a team or everyone in the organization use the connection, share it. A transfer never adds access.
Delete a connection
- Open the row's actions menu on a connection you own and choose Delete.
- Read the warning, then confirm with Delete.
Deleting a connection is permanent. It immediately breaks the toolboxes and synthetic tools that use it, and Elaichi cannot undo it. If someone is leaving and others still need the account, transfer the connection first.
Deleting removes the connection and its credentials from the vault. AI clients can no longer run its tools.
Keep connections healthy
- Open Connections and scan the Status column.
- Choose Reconnect on anything that shows Needs sign-in or Disconnected.
- Transfer connections that should outlive one person.
- Delete only connections you no longer use.
Your connections are healthy when the ones you rely on show Active.
If something goes wrong
- A connection stays unhealthy after you reconnect. Sign in to the app again and approve any new permissions it asks for.
- You do not see Manage access. Only the owner, or someone with Edit access and
connection:share, sees it. Ask the owner to share the connection or to transfer it. - You cannot see a teammate's connection. An unshared connection is private to its owner. Transferring a connection does not widen who can see it, and no organization role does either.
