### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE ### Describe the Bug I’m currently using a personal/individual Cursor account with an Ultra subscription plan. My account is not part of any team, organization, or enterprise workspace. However, when I open Settings → Tools & MCPs → Browser Automations, the feature is unavailable and displays the message: Browser automation disabled by admin This is confusing because there should be no administrator managing or restricting features on my account. I’m trying to understand whether: This is expected behavior for Ultra users, Browser Automation is currently behind a feature flag or gradual rollout, Or if my account is incorrectly being treated as organization-managed. ### Steps to Reproduce Settings → Tools & MCPs → Browser Automations ### Screenshots / Screen Recordings ![untitled.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/b/b/bb1d02cec07373eedda07a5677f7ed089b197e88.png) ### Operating System Windows 10/11 ### Version Information Version: 3.6.31 (user setup) VS Code Extension API: 1.105.1 Commit: 81fcf2931d7687b4ff3f3017858d0c6dee7e2a60 Date: 2026-05-31T17:46:29.630Z Layout: editor Build Type: Stable Release Track: Default Electron: 39.8.1 Chromium: 142.0.7444.265 Node.js: 22.22.1 V8: 14.2.231.22-electron.0 xterm.js: 6.1.0-beta.220 OS: Windows\_NT x64 10.0.19045 ### Does this stop you from using Cursor No - Cursor works, but with this issue ---

Hi Rangga, Thanks for reporting this, and I’m sorry for the confusion here. I’ve filed a bug report and hopefully we can get this sorted out for you soon. One thing we’re checking is whether your account may still have a previous team association on our side, which could be causing Cursor to show the admin-managed Browser Automation setting even though you’re using an individual subscription now. We’ll follow up once we have a clearer answer or a fix. Thanks again for flagging this and for including the version details and screenshot. ---

Thanks for the update. One thing I’d like to clarify is that I have never been part of a team, organization, or enterprise workspace at any point since creating this account. Please let me know if there’s any additional information I can provide to help with troubleshooting. Thanks. ---

Hi, I’m not even on a team plan, though I see “browser automation disabled by admin” and there’s no option to change the toggle. ---

Deer, I’m still encountering this problem, “I’m not even on a team plan, though I see “browser automation disabled by admin” and there’s no option to change the toggle.” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/c/6/c645b7af0d704dd53699f98be2e0a22fbdf09cb3.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/3/c/3c2128c01ca85094ffddfccec76cb0acc4beacdc.png) ---

Hi @Cooper_James Thanks for the post. Your 2nd screenshot shots the Run Mode allowlist rather than the Browser Automation feature. The browser automation feature is available under Tools & MCP. Can you please let us know what you see there if that is the issue? ---

@kevinn Oh, sorry, I made a mistake. The problem is “auto-review is disabled for your admin.” This issue occurred when I switched proxies. Is it because this feature is currently disabled in some countries and regions? ---

Got it! I took a closer look and I have good news: this isn’t disabled by country or region, and there’s no admin restricting your individual account. Auto-review is a Run Mode that relies on one of Cursor’s managed background classifier models. It shows as greyed out (with that “disabled by admin” label) whenever your active model set doesn’t include a model that supports the classifier. That’s usually the case when a custom API key or a custom base URL override is enabled, which is likely what changed when you switched proxies, since those custom/BYOK models don’t support the classifier. To get Auto-review back: - Open `Settings > Models` - Turn off any custom API key and custom base URL override (Custom OpenAI / Anthropic) - Make sure the built-in Cursor models are enabled (Auto, or any frontier model running on Cursor inference) After that, Auto-review should become selectable again. Allowlist mode keeps working either way. Let me know if it’s still greyed after switching off the override. ---
