Invite and manage user access to MCP servers

This article explains adding users, viewing access, removing access, and granting access to all MCP servers. When an MCP server uses Celigo as the identity provider, you control which users can connect from AI agents like Claude or Cursor. Sign into integrator.io to manage user access from:

  • AI studioMCP Server → (server) → Access tab → AuthenticationUsers

  • My AccountUsers → click the Actions overflow menu next to the user and select Manage user

Prerequisites

  • You must have an admin role in the Celigo account.

  • The MCP server must use Celigo authentication. If using an external IdP, the system hides the Users section because you manage access at the IdP level.

Admins are always listed and marked with their admin role. You cannot remove them from the Users list and they have access to all MCP servers automatically.

When you remove a user, they lose access to this MCP server. If the user is currently connected, their access token remains valid for up to 1 hour. However, the refresh token does not issue a new access token.

You cannot remove admins from the users list. To revoke an admin's access, you must change their role to a non-admin role first.

Manage MCP server user access settings via users

You can also manage a user's MCP server access alongside their integration access from the user management screen.

Additional notes

External IdP and user access: When you switch an MCP server's identity provider from Celigo to an external IdP, the Users section becomes hidden. The user access data is preserved but not enforced, as access is controlled by the external IdP. If you switch back to Celigo, the previously configured user access is restored.

Accounts with many MCP servers: For users who need broad access, granting "All MCP servers" access avoids the need to add them to each server individually.
