In the cursor cloud agent web ui, when I share a cloud agent with my teammate, they can only view it. Why can’t they add their own messages? It seems useless for it to be readonly since the only reason you want to share it is if you are passing it off to a teammate. I will have to make a ui wrapper around the api to allow them to add follow up messages.
Steps to Reproduce
Make a cloud agent. Copy the link to it or hit share and copy that link. Send it to a teammate and have them open it up. They can’t see the chat input and can’t create a pr from it or anything, they can only view it.
Expected Behavior
They should be able to add follow up messages, make prs, and everything the original creator can do.
Operating System
MacOS
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
Hey, thanks for the report. We need to check with the engineers whether this is expected behavior or a bug.
A few questions to understand the situation:
Is your teammate logged into Cursor with an account that’s part of your team/workspace?
Did you try sharing via the Share function in the UI or just copy the URL?
Does your teammate see any errors or is the chat input simply missing?
I’m escalating this to the engineers. According to the docs (Web & Mobile | Cursor Docs), collaboration should be possible, but it’s unclear how this works for shared links.
They do belong to my team and workspace. I tried sharing through both the share link and copying the url. The chat is simply missing with no way for them to add a follow up message.
Thanks for the clarification. This is a known issue - even team members see the Cloud Agent as read-only when opening a shared link, even though they are in the same workspace.
The problem is that shared links don’t grant full editing rights - this is a limitation of the current sharing implementation in Cloud Agents.
For now, please try:
Opening the Cloud Agent directly from Cursor IDE or cursor.com/agents via workspace login (not through the shared link)
Creating a separate Cloud Agent for the teammate instead of sharing
Sounds good any eta? Considering making a ui wrapper using the cloud agents api and allowing my teammates to send followups through that but don’t want to make the effort if this is going to be a day or two thing
Even though it says this should be possible right in the docs?? I swear there was one day where this worked but not anymore. Anyway if its in the docs it should be high priority imo. If anyone else is facing this issue you can use this as a workaround in the meantime https://v0-cloud-agents-interface.vercel.app/
