Linear integration No access to repository issue

Bug Reports
1

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)

Describe the Bug

When you reconnect Linear to another Cursor, integration stops working.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Connect Cursor account with Linear and GitHub
  2. Check that everything is working
  3. Disable all integrations
  4. Log in to another Cursor account and set up integration with the same Linear and Github.
  5. I get an error from Cursor in Linear “:warning: No access to repository…”

Expected Behavior

  1. In Linear, it says when launching the Cloud Agent from which account it is trying to launch it. (Very useful if you work in a team)
  2. Integration does not give errors, but starts working with a new account.

Additional Information

At the same time, if you directly launch the Cloud Agent in Cursor and ask to do something, you can see that there are enough rights and integration with GitHub is working correctly. The error is somewhere in the Linear - Cursor bundle.

My theory is that even though I disable integration in the previous account, Linear still tries to use it, but since integration with GitHub has been disabled, it gives this error.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Thanks for the detailed bug report! Your theory about Linear retaining the old account association makes sense.

Could you try these steps:

  1. In Linear, go to Settings → Integrations → Cursor and remove the integration from that side
  2. Then reconnect from your new Cursor account

Also, when you disabled integrations on the first Cursor account, did you disconnect from both the Cursor Settings page AND check Linear’s integration settings? Sometimes the integration state persists on Linear’s end.

Let me know if that helps or if you still see the error!
