Human Intelligence connects to Linear via OAuth 2.0. Once connected, we can read issue, project, and cycle data from your workspace to power engineering throughput and delivery analytics.

Who Can Install

A Linear workspace member with permission to authorize applications. Depending on your workspace settings, a workspace admin may need to approve the application.

Getting Started

  1. Click Connect, and you will be redirected to linear.app and shown a consent screen listing the access Human Intelligence is requesting.
  2. Review the requested access (see Permissions below), select the workspace you want to connect, and click Authorize.
  3. Linear will redirect you back to Human Intelligence. The Linear tile will switch to Connected within a few seconds.

Permissions

Human Intelligence requests a single read-only scope:
Human Intelligence cannot create or modify issues, comments, or any other data in your Linear workspace.

Tokens

  • The tokens Linear issues are stored encrypted at rest in Google Cloud Secret Manager, scoped per customer, behind least-privilege IAM. Human Intelligence developers and support cannot read their values.
  • Access tokens expire after 24 hours and are refreshed automatically; tokens are fetched from Secret Manager only at the moment of an API call, so they are never written to disk, never cached in browsers or logs.
  • All communication with Linear runs over TLS, and every secret access is recorded in Cloud Audit Logs.

Revoking Access

You can disconnect at any time:
  • From Human Intelligence: Integrations → Linear → Disconnect. We delete our copy of the tokens immediately.
  • From Linear: revoke the Human Intelligence application under Settings → Security & access → Authorized applications. This immediately cuts off Human Intelligence’s access to your workspace.
