Company account admins can now see what repos you are committing to. If you are using the company account and coding into your personal repo, freelance job, or an overemployment, you are messed up. All this data is now visible to the company/team admin.
What the actual hell is this? I was pushing my company towards Cursor for the last year, but now I will do the opposite for EVERYONE. Even if I’m not overemployed, I don’t want my employer to be aware of what repos I’m actually committing. This is not their business at all. I’m pretty sure the Cursor team is more than aware that a huge number of developers are working on their pet projects, taking freelance jobs, contributing to public projects, or working 2 jobs.
The analytics on v1.5 were private enough - the admin could see who used AI features and how often. Now it is out of control. If I wanted a time tracker from my employer, I would push for it, not for Cursor. What comes next, screenshots and frontal camera photos with how the code and my face have changed after I pressed Tab?
Give us a user-level setting to disable detailed analytics for our Cursor instances.
I agree that your discomfort is valid, I feel it as well like many others. However, I think your criticism may be aimed in the wrong direction.
In principle, an admin should have the ability to see who is working on which project and to access basic project statistics, especially because they are paying for the Cursor Service.
The real problem is that the Cursor team seems to focus almost exclusively on their Enterprise customers and has largely neglected their non-Enterprise, regular users. They have become so profit-driven that, if a serious alternative to the Cursor IDE appears, they risk losing a significant part of their user base.
They seem to have forgotten that the broader market is driven by normal users, not just Enterprise clients.
So they need to add account switch, may add a distinction between workspaces (normal account’s projects and enterprise account’s projects while using GPT models and spending tokens), etc.
In my perspective, I seriously think to switch “VS Code + GPT Plugins” again because of the Cursor Team’s profit-driven way of thinking. Be useful to the world by helping people like open-source projects and/or other non-profit-driven projects/actions in the world. Or soon, you will be just another forgotten product. Btw, who am I to tell something like this to the Cursor. We all will see in time.
