This update improves security posture for teams by preventing unauthorized users from creating or modifying connectors that handle sensitive external service credentials.
Full Fact Overview
Vercel has updated the security model for Vercel Connect, which facilitates application and agent access to external services. Previously, management of these connectors was not restricted by specific granular roles within the team settings. With this update, team Owners can navigate to 'Connector Permissions' within Team Settings to enforce a restriction. Once enabled, the ability to create or manage connectors is strictly limited to users holding the Owner role or the newly defined 'Connector Manager' extended permission, providing better governance over external service credentials.
