# 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>

## 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/accounts/list-accounts). `account.updated` and `account.deleted` webhooks fire on re-authentication and disconnect.
