# Manage plugins for your organization

> Manage organization plugins, control member permissions, install plugins for everyone, and learn how connector permissions apply inside plugins.

Enterprise administrators manage plugins from the **Plugins and skills** page in **Organization settings**. This page controls who in your organization can create plugins and holds the plugins your organization shares with its members. Connectors keep their own settings page, **Organization settings → Connectors**, and the permissions you set there apply inside every plugin.

If you are new to plugins, start with [What are plugins?](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/2026100701-what-are-plugins.md). For how members find and install plugins, see [Find, install, and remove plugins](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/2026100702-find-install-and-remove-plugins.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Availability:** Plugins are rolling out gradually, starting with individual plans and Self-Serve Enterprise organizations. Plugins are coming soon to sales-assisted Enterprise plans. Until then, members and admins keep using Connectors and Skills. If you don't see Plugins in the sidebar yet, keep using **Customize → Connectors** and **Skills**. Everything there works as before.

## Before you start

<ul>
  <li>
    An administrator role in a Self-Serve Enterprise organization, or a custom role with permission to manage organization plugins.
  </li>

  <li>
    A Self-Serve Enterprise organization that has the Plugins page (see [Availability](#h_availability)).
  </li>

  <li>
    For uploads, a `.zip` file with a `plugin.json` manifest at its root or in the Claude Code or Codex location. See [Create or upload a custom plugin](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/2026100802-create-or-upload-a-custom-plugin.md) for the requirements.
  </li>
</ul>

## How plugin permissions work

A plugin bundles connectors and skills, and it inherits the permissions of the connectors and skills inside it. In practice:

<ul>
  <li>
    **Connectors** are governed on **Organization settings → Connectors**. The Enabled toggle and role access for each connector apply wherever the connector appears, including inside plugins. A plugin never grants access to a connector a member cannot otherwise use, and installing a plugin never connects an account on a member's behalf. See [Role-based access control for connectors](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/2026100201-role-based-access-control-for-connectors.md).
  </li>

  <li>
    **Plugins and skills** are governed on **Organization settings → Plugins and skills**, where you control who can upload or create plugins and skills and manage the organization's library.
  </li>
</ul>

To stop members from using a particular tool, disable the connector. That turns it off everywhere, including inside every plugin that includes it. Members still see the plugin, and the connector inside it shows **Disabled by your organization**.

## Set member permissions

On **Organization settings → Plugins and skills**, the permissions section has three controls:

<ul>
  <li>
    **Allow members to upload or create personal plugins and skills.** Members can upload or import plugins, and create skills, for their own use.
  </li>

  <li>
    **Allow members to upload or create organization plugins and skills.** Members can create plugins and skills shared with the organization. New organization plugins and skills appear on the **Organization** tab of the Plugins page in the sidebar for everyone and are uninstalled by default.
  </li>

  <li>
    **Allow members to install their own organization plugins and skills for everyone.** Members can install organization plugins and skills they created for everyone without an admin approving the request. When this is off, members send a request and an admin decides.
  </li>
</ul>

If your organization uses custom roles, you can grant plugin permissions to specific roles on the **Roles & Permissions** page. See [Enterprise roles and permissions](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/11187754-enterprise-roles-and-permissions.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> Members cannot create organization connectors, including by uploading a plugin that declares a new connector. Plugins created by members can only reference connectors that already exist in your organization.

## Publish an organization plugin

The **Organization plugins and skills** section lists every plugin shared with your organization. Publishing a plugin makes it available on the **Organization** tab for members to install themselves. Installing it for everyone is a separate step.

**1. Open Organization settings → Plugins and skills**

Only people who can manage organization plugins see this page.

**2. Select Upload plugin**

Upload a `.zip` file with a `plugin.json` manifest at its root or in the Claude Code or Codex location. Uploading here publishes the plugin to your organization’s library. See [Create or upload a custom plugin](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/2026100802-create-or-upload-a-custom-plugin.md) for the file requirements and limits.

**3. Review the plugin**

Open the plugin to confirm its skills and connectors were imported as expected. The plugin's page opens in **Plugins and skills**, where you can also turn individual bundled skills on or off.

Members who are allowed to create organization plugins can also publish a personal plugin to the organization from the Plugins page in the sidebar. A published plugin moves to the organization's library and is not installed for anyone automatically.

## Install a plugin for everyone

Installing a plugin for everyone puts it on every member's **Installed** tab and installs its skills for each member. Members still connect each connector with their own account.

**1. Open the plugin from Organization plugins and skills**

On **Organization settings → Plugins and skills**, find the plugin in the **Organization plugins and skills** list and open it.

**2. Select Install org-wide**

The plugin is installed for everyone in your organization. You can also install it for everyone from the list by selecting the plus (**+**) button on its card.

To remove the plugin for everyone, open it from the same list and select **Uninstall**.

Members can also ask for a plugin they created to be installed for everyone by selecting **Request org install** on the plugin. If members are allowed to install their own organization plugins for everyone, the plugin is installed right away and a confirmation reads **Installed for your organization**. Otherwise, a confirmation reads **Request sent to admins**, and an administrator completes the installation from the organization's plugin library.

## How to verify it worked

In the **Organization plugins and skills** list, the plugin's card shows a check mark instead of the plus (**+**) button, and members see the plugin on their **Installed** tab. Connectors inside it still show **Connect** for each member until they connect their own account.

## What members see

<ul>
  <li>
    In **Discover**, connectors a member can't use appear dimmed, with the reason on hover.
  </li>

  <li>
    The **Organization** tab shows plugins, skills, and connectors your organization has shared.
  </li>

  <li>
    Inside a plugin, each connector shows its own status: **Connect**, **Connected**, **Reconnect**, **Disabled by your organization**, **Unavailable** (not available to the member's account, usually because their role does not have access), or **Upgrade required** (the plan does not include the connector). The plugin stays visible and its other components keep working.
  </li>
</ul>

## Audit logs

Connector connections and disconnections are recorded in your organization's [audit logs](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/11652747-audit-logs.md). Plugin and skill installation events are not logged separately.
