Placement

Every connection is placed somewhere, and the placement alone decides which copies of which workers can use it. There is no other switch.

Placement	Who can use it
One worker for one client	Only that worker, and only when it is working for that client. The default.
One client	Every worker, when it is working for that client.
One worker	That worker, for every client and for the company.
Whole company	Every worker, everywhere.

Which copies of which workers a connection reaches, by its placement. — Acme's HubSpot, placed with Acme, reaches Nora for Acme and nobody else. The company's Google Drive reaches every copy of every worker.

Narrowest wins

When the same app is connected at two placements, a copy uses the narrowest one that matches it. Acme’s own HubSpot, placed with Acme, beats the company-wide HubSpot for Acme’s copy of Nora. Globex’s copy, with no HubSpot of its own, uses the company’s.

Changing a placement

Open the connection and change its access. Before you add, move or remove a placement, control shows who Gains it, who Loses it, and who Keeps it. A connection must keep at least one placement; to take it away from everyone, remove the connection. On a card, placement reads Everyone (Company), Nora (Worker), Acme (Client), or Nora for Acme. A client’s page lists the connections that reach that client, marking the ones inherited from the company.

Worth knowing. A client’s accounts belong with that client. Place them with the client, not the company, and no other client’s copy can ever reach them. See Client separation.
