About Linear

A platform for software teams to track work and plan releases. It provides issue tracking, sprint planning, boards, backlog management and roadmaps, plus integrations with code repositories and collaboration tools. Teams use it to organize tasks, prioritize work and monitor progress across projects.

What Cakewalk Does With Linear

Govern who on your team and which agents can access Linear as code moves from commit to production. Cakewalk syncs everyone with access to Linear and what each person can do, discovers the service accounts and agents connected to it, then grants and removes that access automatically. AI agents can also act inside Linear, checked against policy on every call.

Integration Capabilities

Access Sync

Cakewalk continuously reads who has access in Linear and at what level, then reconciles it against your directory of record. Out-of-band and orphaned access is surfaced for review.

Auto Provisioning

Cakewalk provisions and removes Linear access automatically. When someone joins, changes roles or leaves, their access is granted, adjusted or revoked without a ticket.

Agent Connection

A Connection lets an AI agent act in Linear through Cakewalk instead of with its own API key. The agent operates with the permissions of the person who made the request, only for the duration of that task. Every call is checked against policy and written to the audit log.

NHI Discovery

Cakewalk discovers the non-human identities tied to Linear, the service accounts, API keys and AI agents that operate as shadow IT and shadow agents when they go ungoverned. Each one is surfaced and brought under the same access policy and audit log as the people on your team.

Use Cases

Use Case	Description
A Live Picture of Who Has Access Access Sync	Cakewalk continuously reads who has access in Linear and at what level, so the list is current instead of a stale export.
Access That Slipped Through Access Sync	When access is granted in Linear outside of policy, the next sync surfaces it for review, so orphaned and out-of-band accounts do not pile up.
Day-One Access Without a Ticket Auto Provisioning	When a new hire starts, Cakewalk provisions their Linear access from policy on day one, with no ticket and no SCIM required.
Access That Follows the Person Auto Provisioning	When someone changes teams or leaves, their Linear access is updated or removed automatically, so it always matches their role.
Let an Agent Handle Linear Tasks Agent Connection	A person asks their agent to do something in Linear, like find a record, update a field or pull a report. The agent does it through Cakewalk with that person's own access, not a shared key.
Every Action Checked and Logged Agent Connection	Every agent action in Linear is checked against your access rules and written to the audit log. Safe actions go through, risky ones wait for approval or are blocked.
See Every Non-Human Identity NHI Discovery	Cakewalk finds the service accounts, API keys and agents connected to Linear, so machine access is no longer invisible.
An Owner for Every Machine Identity NHI Discovery	Cakewalk ties each service account and agent in Linear to a human owner, so non-human access is accountable.
