Grok Bot for Developers: Mastery — Administering & Securing Grok Bot

Plan and secure a company-wide Grok Bot rollout: group access, pre-rollout network and privacy checks, connector policy and the MCP allowlist, Network Controls, Team Rules and required Auto-review, setup scripts and secrets, and managing Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots) company-wide. Covers monitoring, member computers, offboarding and the Admin API, with Enterprise-only features clearly labelled. The final is a written rollout and security plan; no real admin access is needed.

What this course covers

The course runs across 10 topics, each one a short adaptive session rather than a recorded lecture. The tutor explains the idea, works an example, checks understanding, and adjusts the next step to the answer given.

Rollout: group access and inviting members on Enterprise — Enterprise only: turn Grok Bot on with Enable Grok Bot on the Cursor dashboard's Grok Bot page, limit it with Manage Group Access, and provision members with SCIM. On most team plans it is on by default for members, with no switch to turn it off.
Before rollout: privacy mode, fixed outbound addresses, company proxies — Move accounts off Privacy Mode (Legacy) to Privacy Mode, plan for shared egress IPs (no dedicated per-customer IPs) that vendors may need to allowlist, and let TLS-inspecting proxies allow *.*.cursorvm.com and exempt it from inspection. Decide how members sign in to company tools and review inherited policies.
Connector policy and the MCP allowlist — Audit which apps members and Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots) may connect with connector policy (blocked ones show "Disabled by team admin"); Enterprise only: start from an MCP allowlist of approved servers and widen deliberately.
Network Controls, and applying them to connected apps — Enterprise only: choose Allow All Network Access, Defaults + Team Allowlist, or Team Allowlist Only, and turn on Apply to MCP servers (off by default) so MCP servers follow the same network rules. Group settings can only widen most settings, but network is the exception: a group's own network policy applies to its members, whether looser or tighter than the team's.
Team Rules, required Auto-review and team Auto-review rules — Set Team Rules for everyone; Enterprise only: Enforce Auto-review and add locked team Ask first rules for production deploys, external email, payments and accepting legal terms. Enforcement matters most where nobody can answer a Shared Bot's approval card, for example work started by a routine or workflow post, since in a Slack thread only the person who asked can answer.
Team Setup Scripts, Team Secrets and private networks — Enterprise only: prepare member computers with Team Setup Scripts (which can install a networking client to reach private services), give them credentials through Team Secrets referenced by name, decide whether to Allow Local Egress Routing (it routes Grok Bot's web traffic through the member's own computer) and whether to Allow Sudo on Bot Computers.
Shared Bots: manage them company-wide — access, auto-add by group, deleting, and audit events — In Manage Shared Bots (Grok Bot page of the Cursor dashboard, Shared Bots section), set each Shared Bot's Access (whole team, certain people or groups, only the owner) and Auto-add it to groups, after which those members can't hide it. Deleting removes everyone's chats and routines and can't be undone, so narrow Access first; Enterprise only: review audit logs for events such as Bot creation and member access changes.
Inference Hooks, Action Recording and telemetry export — Enterprise only: record sanitized action metadata with Action Recording, send it to your observability stack with OpenTelemetry Export, and trial Inference Hooks (beta) in Shadow mode before enforcing. Conversation Insights shows Type of Work and Level of Automation.
Managing member computers, offboarding and the Admin API — Enterprise only: Manage Member Computers and Data (Recreate, Terminate, Delete; Terminate Inactive Computers) and automate with the Admin API. None of these actions remove access: remove the member from the team or their group and revoke sessions in your identity provider. Offboard by pausing routines, revoking connectors in the source system, clearing /workspace, and for Shared Bots the leaver owns, adding a Manager in time or removing team access before an admin deletes them (no ownership transfer is documented).
Capstone: a secure rollout plan using the vendor's recommended setup — Write a phased rollout and security plan: pre-rollout checks, group access, Network Controls, connector policy and MCP allowlist, enforced Auto-review and team rules, local execution off, Cloud Agent and template sharing decisions, Shared Bot governance and monitoring, with Enterprise-only items labelled.

Skills you build

Results are measured against named skills in the OneRange taxonomy of more than 10,000 skills, so a manager sees proficiency per skill rather than a completion tick.

Who it is for

Platform, security and IT engineers who administer Grok Bot for a team or company. The material is pitched at expert level, and takes roughly 180 minutes at a typical pace. Because every session adapts, someone who already knows a topic moves through it quickly instead of sitting through an explanation they do not need.

It sits in the Tool: Grok Bot track of the Vero AI Catalog, and can be assigned to one person, a team, or the whole company.

How it is delivered and assessed

Delivery is conversational and interactive, including guided lab, branching scenario, code lab exercises. There is no video to sit through and no slide deck to click past.

Understanding is checked with a tool assessment of 5 items, with a pass mark of 70%.

Administrators can copy this course into their own library and adapt it — edit the outline, change the duration, swap the assessment format, or ground it in internal documentation so answers cite the company's own source material.

Also in this track

Grok Bot: Mastery — Shared Bots & Leading Adoption — Lead reliable Bot work across a department using delegation, description, discernment and diligence. Learners choose which jobs become Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots), run them with Managers and Slack, work with their admin on access and review settings, share templates safely, check Bot output, and measure impact honestly. They finish with a Shared Bot rollout plan they can take to their team.
Grok Bot for Developers: Advanced — Shared Bots for Engineering — Run Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots) that an engineering org relies on: pick the right jobs, decide between owner-added apps and each person's own accounts, know where each conversation's work runs, and manage team memory, Bot settings and Collaborator and Manager roles. Add Auto-review rules for git, deploys and production dashboards, isolate sensitive workloads, and keep action logs you can audit.
Grok Bot: Advanced — Bot Teams, Triggers & Guardrails — Run several Bots as a small team with clear owners, narrow triggers and approval guardrails. Learners design Bot handoffs, write Auto-review rules, manage one of the team's Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots), including its apps, secrets, skills and files, understand whose account each app uses and how Slack channels work, and report results with clear evidence. They finish with a multi-Bot workflow that has approvals and an action log.
Grok Bot for Developers: Core — Connections, Secrets & Event Routines — Wire Grok Bot into an engineering stack: whose account each app uses, custom MCP servers, secrets, and event routines from GitHub, Slack, Linear, Sentry, PagerDuty and webhooks with narrow matching and safe retries. Write skills that validate their own output, delegate coding to Cloud Agents, build engineering Pages, and build and share a simple engineering Bot through Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots) with a read-only key.
Grok Bot: Core — Skills, Routines & Pages — Turn one-off tasks into reliable, repeatable work. Learners save skills, teach a task when available, turn a tested skill into a routine, publish results as Pages, and build Shared Bots (formerly called Team Bots): a simple one made from a skill that already works and shared with their team. They finish with one tested routine and a small Shared Bot their team can use.

Can we customise it with our own documents and terminology?

Yes. Administrators can copy this course into their own library and adapt it — edit the outline, change the duration, swap the assessment format, or ground it in internal documentation so answers cite the company's own source material.
