Notion has added the ability to share Workers with teammates, expanding collaborative capabilities within its Developer Platform. The feature, announced on LinkedIn, allows developers to distribute custom tools and integrations across their teams with two distinct permission levels.
Two-Tier Access Model
Users can now share individual Workers from the Developer Portal with granular control over what teammates can do. The Can connect permission allows colleagues to use a Worker in their own Custom Agents without modifying the underlying code, functioning similarly to a prebuilt MCP connection. Workers shared with this permission appear in the Connections panel for Custom Agents, making them immediately accessible for agent workflows.
The Full access permission goes further, enabling teammates to edit code, deploy changes, and manage the Worker collaboratively. With full access, shared Workers appear not only in the Connections panel but also in the Developer Portal and CLI, providing complete development capabilities. This tiered approach mirrors patterns seen in platforms like Vercel and Supabase, where permission boundaries help teams balance distribution with security.
Developer Portal as Collaboration Hub
The sharing workflow centers on Notion's Developer Portal, accessible via Settings, Connections, and the Go to developer portal option, or directly at app.notion.com/developers. From the workers section, users can select individual Workers to share and assign access levels. This centralized approach keeps Worker management separate from standard page-level permissions in Notion, following their recent emphasis on extensibility through the Developer Platform.
The addition of sharing follows Notion's broader push into developer tooling, which includes Workers for syncing external data sources, custom agent tools, and API integrations. As the platform evolves from a purely internal workspace into a developer platform, collaboration features like Worker sharing become essential infrastructure. Teams building internal tools, automation workflows, or AI agents can now iterate together without duplicating code or managing access through external repositories.
For teams already using Custom Agents, the update means IT can build approved Workers once and distribute them to non-technical colleagues who simply connect them to agents. This pattern particularly benefits organizations standardizing on Notion for knowledge management while extending capabilities through code, without requiring every team member to write TypeScript or understand deployment pipelines.
