Set up

Add Playwright to Zed in four steps

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

  1. 1

    Approve Playwright in Runlayer

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

  2. 2

    Connect Zed to Runlayer

    Install the Runlayer CLI so Zed can reach Playwright, which runs on the user’s machine. Auto Sync can then write Playwright into Zed on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Playwright

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

  4. 4

    Use Playwright from Zed

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

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 Playwright 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.
