This page is for Organisation Admins. Everyone connects their own accounts, as described in Connectors. Admins decide which connectors are available and how far Beacon may go with each. Open Settings > Connectors under the Organisation group. Only an Admin sees it.

​
Make a connector available

The page lists every connector Saphion offers. For each one you see who published it and whether it is Available or Off for your Organisation. Use the switch to change it.
  • Off stops anyone connecting that connector and withholds its tools from Beacon. Members still see it in Discover and can ask for it. Sign-ins already made are kept.
  • Some connectors show Not connectable yet, because they cannot be switched on for your Organisation today.
The first row, Web search, is not a connector. Beacon can search the web unless you turn this switch off, and then nobody in your Organisation is offered web search.

​
Answer requests

When a member asks for a connector that is off, a Requests section appears at the top of the page with a count. Each row says who asked.
  • Approve makes the connector available to your Organisation straight away.
  • Decline asks for an optional reason. The person who asked is told, with your reason if you give one.

​
Set the ceiling for each tool

Choose Tool permissions on a connector to open it. Switch from My settings to Organisation at the top of its tool list. For each tool, and for each group of tools, you choose a ceiling: Always allow, Needs approval or Blocked, or Default, which leaves the tool at the setting Saphion gives it. Members choose within your ceiling and can make a tool stricter for themselves, never looser. A tool that sends something to other people can never be set to Always allow.

​
Add a custom connector

If you want a system that is not in the list, choose Add custom connector on the Connectors page under Customise.
  1. Paste the address of a remote MCP server, and optionally give it a name.
  2. Choose Add. Saphion refuses an address that cannot be reached, is not an MCP server, or carries a secret, and says which.
  3. Sign in to the new connector with your own account. Everyone else signs in with theirs.
After that it is a connector like the rest.

​
Organisation-wide accounts

Some connectors are connected once for the whole Organisation rather than by each person. These show Connected for your Organisation, and only an Admin can disconnect them. On such a connector, a Who can use it section lets you choose Everyone or Chosen people and Teams.
