Vercel Adds Enterprise-Managed Authorization to Connect.

Enterprise-Managed Authorization gives Vercel Connect apps and agents access to supported services on behalf of signed-in users, without showing a separate consent prompt for every service. The feature is now in public beta.

Administrators control that access through a compatible identity provider. Vercel’s changelog names Okta as one example. An admin can grant or revoke access centrally, while each user signs into the app with their corporate account.

Once the user has signed in, the app requests the scopes it needs. Connect handles the token exchange, caching and renewal needed to maintain access to the supported service.

The app does not receive open-ended access. Its actions remain limited by the approved scopes and by the permissions that the signed-in user already has within the connected service.

This creates two layers of control. The administrator decides whether the service can be accessed through the identity provider. The user’s existing service permissions still determine what the app or agent can do after authentication.

Without Enterprise-Managed Authorization, users may need to approve access separately for each service used by an app or agent. The public beta moves that approval into an organisation’s identity system, while Connect takes responsibility for the underlying token lifecycle.

Admins can also revoke access from the identity provider rather than managing consent separately inside every app. Builders still define the scopes their app needs, and those scopes remain subject to the user’s existing permissions.

What is Enterprise-Managed Authorization in Vercel Connect?

Enterprise-Managed Authorization lets apps and agents access supported services for signed-in users without requiring a separate consent prompt for every service. Administrators manage access through a compatible identity provider, while Connect handles token exchange, caching and renewal.

Which Vercel plan includes Enterprise-Managed Authorization?

Enterprise-Managed Authorization is available in public beta. Vercel has not published pricing or plan eligibility in this announcement.

How is access restricted with Enterprise-Managed Authorization?

Access is restricted to the scopes approved for the app. The app or agent also remains limited by the signed-in user’s existing permissions within the connected service.
