Set up

Add Granola to Zed in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Zed then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Approve Granola in Runlayer

    Add Granola from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect Zed to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Zed by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Zed reaches Granola’s 7 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Granola

    Sign in the way Granola requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Granola from Zed

    Granola’s approved tools appear in Zed. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

7 Granola tools in Zed

Runlayer policy decides which of these Zed users can call. 4 read data only.

  • Get meetings

    Get detailed meeting information for one or more Granola meetings by ID.

    List the user's Granola meeting notes within a time range.

  • Switch workspace

    Change your saved active Granola workspace.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Zed

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Zed exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Granola call from Zed passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Zed as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Zed yet, so control happens at the gateway.
