# Managing connected apps Review every app and assistant connected to your organization, see what each one can reach, change which projects it covers, and disconnect any of them at any time. **Language:** en **Audience:** platform **TLDR:** Connected apps, under organization settings, lists every OAuth connection: which app, how many permissions, which projects, when it was last used. Everyone sees their own connections; organization admins get a second tab with everyone's. Edit projects widens or narrows a connection without changing its permissions; adding permissions means authorizing the app again from its side. Disconnect is immediate and per-connection, so the same app connected twice keeps its other connection. A connection also lapses on its own after a long spell without being used, and every use pushes that date back. **Translation key:** platform.developers-and-apps.managing-connected-apps **Search keywords:** connected apps, manage connected apps, disconnect, disconnect app, revoke, revoke access, permissions, projects, last used, expires, my connections, whole organization, edit projects, oauth, mcp, agent **Related pages:** /platform/es/developers-and-apps/managing-connected-apps, /platform/en/developers-and-apps, /platform/en/developers-and-apps/connect-your-ai, /platform/en/developers-and-apps/third-party-data-access **Docs index (every page):** https://docs.instasent.com/llms.txt **This zone's index:** https://docs.instasent.com/platform/en/llms.txt **This page:** https://docs.instasent.com/platform/en/developers-and-apps/managing-connected-apps/ (HTML) · https://docs.instasent.com/platform/en/developers-and-apps/managing-connected-apps.md (Markdown) **Other language (es):** https://docs.instasent.com/platform/es/developers-and-apps/managing-connected-apps.md Every app or assistant authorized over OAuth shows up on one screen — **Connected apps**, in your **organization settings**. From there you can see what each connection reaches, change which projects it covers, and disconnect it on the spot. ## Where it lives Connected apps is part of **organization settings**, not project settings: connections belong to the organization and can span several of its projects. **Anyone can open it** and will see the connections they authorized themselves. If you have organization-level access, you get a second tab, **Whole organization**, with every connection in it and an extra **User** column showing who granted each one. There is **no "connect" or "create" button** here, on purpose. Connections are always started from the outside — from the assistant or the app, which sends you to Instasent to approve it. This screen is where you review and manage the ones that already exist. ![The Connected apps screen with the My connections and Whole organization tabs](/platform/en/developers-and-apps/images/connected-apps--1-table.png) *Connected apps: your OAuth connections, with the My connections and Whole organization tabs.* ## What the table tells you Each row is one connection. The columns available are: | Column | What it tells you | | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **App** | The app's identity — its name, whether it is an **MCP client** or an **API integration**, and whether Instasent has verified it. | | **Permissions** | How many permissions the connection holds. Hover the count to see the full list. | | **Projects** | Which projects it reaches. A project shows a badge when its access type isn't Full access. | | **User** | Who authorized it. Only in the organization-wide view. | | **Created** | When it was authorized. | | **Last used** | The last time the app actually used it. | | **Expires** | When it lapses through inactivity, or **Doesn't expire**. | You won't necessarily see all of them at once: the table starts with the columns that answer the usual question and keeps the rest one click away in the column menu, and it remembers your choice for next time. ### The same app can appear more than once It's normal to see one app listed several times — one connection per project, or per device. Instasent doesn't merge them: each is independent, told apart by its projects and its dates, and disconnecting one doesn't touch the others. ## Changing which projects a connection reaches **Edit projects** changes which projects a connection can access **without changing its permissions**. That is how you widen or narrow its reach. Adding **new permissions** is not something you can do from here: the app has to be authorized again from its side, so it can ask for the extra access and you can approve it. ## Disconnecting **Disconnect** cuts a connection's access. You confirm once, and the app **loses access immediately** — to come back it would have to be authorized from scratch. > **Warning**: Disconnecting is per-connection. If an app holds several connections — one per > project, say — disconnect the specific one you mean; the others keep working. ## When a connection lapses on its own A connection expires through **inactivity**. The **Expires** column shows the date it would happen, or **Doesn't expire**. Every time the app uses the connection that date moves forward, so one in regular use never reaches it; one left alone for a long stretch lapses, and the app has to be authorized again. This has nothing to do with the short-lived access the app uses behind the scenes for each request, which renews itself and needs nothing from you. ## What's next - [Data access](/platform/en/developers-and-apps/third-party-data-access) — how much of your data a connection actually receives, whatever it was granted. - [Connect your AI](/platform/en/developers-and-apps/connect-your-ai) — how a connection gets created in the first place. --- This is one page of the Instasent documentation.
