The lock is optional. A connection without a lock works as before. If a
connection shows No company chosen, nothing is wrong.
Systems with company lock
In Search Console, a property with a URL (for example
https://example.com/) and
a domain property (for example sc-domain:example.com) are two different
properties.
The other systems have no company lock. In e-conomic, Uniconta and Shopify, for
example, one connection belongs to one set of accounts or one store.
Typical use
An accountant or an agency has one login with access to many clients. With company lock you can use the same login on several agreements and lock each agreement to its own client:- Buy one more agreement for the system. See Extra agreements.
- Connect each agreement with the same login.
- Lock each agreement to its own client.
- Add each agreement’s own address in your AI, for example
https://mcp.consile.ai/dinero-2/mcp.
Who can lock
Only administrators can choose, change and unlock a company. A member sees which company a connection is locked to, but has no button. If a connection has no company, the bottom of the card says An administrator can choose the company.Where you see the lock
Open the connector in the portal. On the Connections card there is a line under each connected agreement:
An administrator has a button next to the agreement: Choose company, or
Change company if it is already locked. An agreement that is not connected has
no line and no button. If it says Access revoked, the agreement must be
connected again before you can choose the company.
Right after you have connected one of the five systems, the portal also suggests
locking the connection. The <system> is connected page shows The key
reaches several companies. Choose the one this connection should be locked to, and
every call keeps to it. Click Choose company to open the dialog on the
connector’s page, or Go to connector to skip it. If a member clicks Choose
company, the portal shows An administrator can choose the company.
How to lock a connection
1
Open the dialog
Click Choose company next to the agreement on the Connections card.
The Choose company dialog says: The connection to <system> is
locked to the company you choose. Every call then keeps to it, and the
connection can be bound to a customer in Studio.
2
Find the company
The list is fetched directly from the system with the connection’s own
access. So it shows the companies the connected account can reach. Use the
search field (Search by name) if the list is long.In Business Central you choose in two steps. First Environment, for
example Production or a sandbox environment. Then Company in that
environment. To go back to another environment, click it in your choices
above the list.
3
Lock the connection
Choose the company and click Lock to this company.
The portal shows <system> is now locked to <name>., and the
agreement shows as Locked to <name>.
If the lock is not set
The dialog says why the lock was not set. Nothing has been changed.What changes for your AI
- Every call keeps to the company. If your AI asks for another company on the locked connection, the call is refused, and nothing is fetched or changed. Your AI is told which company the connection is locked to.
- The list of companies shows only that one. If you ask your AI to show your websites, ad accounts, organizations or companies, it only gets the locked one.
- Tools that cannot be limited to one company are hidden. Your AI does not see them on the locked connection and cannot call them. On a connection without a lock they are there as before.
See the lists on Meta Ads,
LinkedIn Ads and
Business Central. Two examples:
- On Meta Ads,
update_statusandupdate_budgetare hidden. On a locked connection your AI therefore cannot change the status or budget of anything that already exists. It can still create new things in the locked ad account. - On LinkedIn Ads, 20 of the 28 tools are not available yet anyway.
What your AI is told
The messages to your AI are in English. If it names another company, the answer begins, for example, like this:“This connection only serves <name>, …”If it calls a tool that is hidden on the connection:
“This connection is locked to <name>, and <tool> cannot be limited to one company, so it is not available here.”If your AI needs another company, it must use another agreement, or an administrator must change the company.
Change company or unlock
Change company: Click Change company next to the agreement. The dialog opens with the current company marked current. Choose another one and click Lock to this company. Unlock: Click the menu (the three dots) next to the agreement. Under Unlock the company, click Unlock. The Unlock? window says The company is then chosen in each call again, and the connection cannot be bound to a customer in Studio. Confirm with Unlock. The portal shows <name> is unlocked. After you unlock, your AI chooses the company in each call again, and the hidden tools are back.After a new connection
If an administrator connects the agreement again, for example with Reconnect or a link from your AI, the company must be chosen again. Until then it says Choose the company again, and every call on the connection is refused. Your AI gets the message:“This connection is locked to <name>, but its credential has been replaced since that was confirmed. An administrator must choose the company again in the Consile portal before it can be used.”The page after the connection says The connection was renewed, so the company has to be chosen again before your AI assistant can use it. Choose the same company to carry on with it.
1
Open the dialog
Click Choose company on the page after the connection, or next to the
agreement on the Connections card.
2
Choose the same company
The dialog says The connection was renewed, so the company has to be chosen
again. Choose the same company to carry on with it. The previous company is
already selected. Click Lock to this company.
When the lock disappears or moves
The lock disappears when:- an administrator disconnects the connection with Disconnect
- an administrator removes the agreement with Remove the agreement
- the subscription to the system ends.
