### Feature request for product/service

Cursor Web

### Describe the request

We run Slack-triggered automations (Team Owned, service account) that validate PRs with browser testing. Team members want to click “Open in Web” and take over the live desktop to inspect the UI themselves, but get “Access Forbidden” because the agent is owned by the service account.

Itd be great if team members (or at least team admins) could be able to access the Desktop tab on agents spawned by team-owned automations.

### Operating System (if it applies)

MacOS

Hi @Joshua_Vernon!

This should already be possible by enabling **VM Sharing** in your [Cloud Agent Team Settings.](https://cursor.com/dashboard/cloud-agents#team-security)
