Make lets you connect external providers to your Grid to have a holistic view of your entire automation landscape. You can view the list of providers in the **Manage providers** dialog box.

:::hint{type="info"}
- You can add each external provider once per user.
- The external provider is connected to your Grid. If you connect your account to a space, other people in that space do **not** automatically get access. 
- Other users must connect the same provider themselves using their own login credentials.
- If the saved connection stops working (expired token, changed password, revoked access), Make Grid asks you to reconnect/re-enter credentials.
- You can remove the connection from **Manage providers** and then reconnect it later.
