# Linking Accounts

> Connect the provider accounts your agent will act on.

Once a [connector profile](/gateway/concepts/connector-profiles) is enabled, the next step is for each end-user to **link their account**. They authenticate with the provider (OAuth or credentials) so StackOne can act on their behalf. The resulting linked account is what your agent, API calls, and tools then run against.

## Connection methods

| Method                                              | Best for                                                                    |
| --------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Embedded Hub](/embed/account-linking/stackone-hub) | Production apps: in-app, branded                                            |
| [Auth Link](/embed/account-linking/auth-link)       | Email flows, sales-led onboarding, demos                                    |
| Dashboard linking                                   | Manual linking by your team: internal tools, ops, or on a customer's behalf |

<Tip>
  For Auth Links there's no frontend callback. Subscribe to account [webhooks](/connect/webhooks) to know when an account is linked.
</Tip>

<Note>
  The profile picker only offers connector profiles you're allowed to use. A [restricted profile](/secure/sharing-connector-profiles) is hidden when linking, in the dashboard and in the Hub, unless you've been granted access to it.
</Note>

## Link from the dashboard

You can link accounts directly from the StackOne dashboard without embedding the Hub. Useful for internal tools, or when your ops or support team connects an account on a customer's behalf.

### Connection links

Generate connection links from your dashboard to share with end-users.

## Manage linked accounts

View, re-authenticate, or remove accounts on the [Accounts page](https://app.stackone.com/accounts), or via the [List Accounts API](/platform/api-reference/v2/accounts/list-accounts). `account.updated` and `account.deleted` webhooks fire on re-authentication and disconnect.
