Who uses what

Scenery has three kinds of users. One person can be more than one.

Admins

Admins are the IT and security people who roll Scenery out. They work in the portal at app.scenery.dev. They:

• Invite employees and manage Accounts.
• Review and approve tools in the Review Queue, MCP Servers and Plugins pages.
• Watch devices, the Activity Log and Shadow AI discoveries.
• Revoke tools, devices and users when they need to.

Start with the Quickstart, then the Rollout guide.

Employees

Employees use approved tools in their AI client. They:

• Install the runner and Devices.
• Browse the catalog and install tools.
• Sign in once to services such as Jira or Slack that connect through Scenery’s sign-in, with no credentials to manage. Some tools use the employee’s own API key instead. See Tool sign-in.
• Ask for tools that are not in the catalog yet.

Start with Install the runner.

Builders

Builders write skills. A builder can be an employee who made a useful skill, or someone on the IT team. They:

• Author a skill as a SKILL.md file and publish it from the portal or the CLI.
• Wait for Approval if their organization requires it.
• Adopt skills they already use so they are managed. See Adoption.

The format is described in the SKILL.md.
