Opal’s integration with Linear allows you to manage access to Linear organizations, projects and teams.
Supported resources
Requirements
Before you begin, you must:
- Be an Opal Admin
- Be on version
1.1215.0, if you self-host Opal
1. Create a Linear admin personal API key
To allow Opal to access and manage your Linear organization, teams and projects, you must first create a Personal API key. You will only be shown the API key on creation, so save it for the next steps.
In Settings > Security & Access under Personal API keys select the New API key option. Select the following permissions:
2. Create Linear app in Opal
In Opal, go to Inventory > +App and select Linear. Name your Linear app, provide a description, and enter the personal API key you generated in step 1.
After you save the app, you can import organizations, projects and teams from … > Import items.
Organization management
Once a user is synced from Linear into Opal, admins can manage the user’s access level (admin, member or guest). Opal does not support user provisioning for Linear, so users cannot be added or removed from the Linear organization through Opal. Last modified on September 8, 2026
