The Agent can be configured to enable access to the CI/CD Tunnel to other projects or all the projects under a given group. This way you can have a single agent serving all the requests for several projects saving on resources and maintenance.
You can read more on how to [authorize access to groups in the Agent configuration reference](repository.md#authorize-groups-to-use-an-agent).

If you use the same cluster across multiple projects, you can set up the CI/CD Tunnel
to grant the Agent access to one or more groups. This way, all the projects that belong
to the authorized groups can access the same Agent. This enables you to save resources and
have a scalable setup.
If you use the same cluster across multiple projects, you can set up the [CI/CD Tunnel](ci_cd_tunnel.md)
to grant access to an Agent from one or more projects or groups. This way, all the authorized
projects can access the same Agent, which facilitates you to save resources and have a scalable setup.
When you authorize a group, the agent's Kubernetes context is automatically injected
into every project of the authorized group, and users can select the connection as
described in the [CI/CD Tunnel documentation](ci_cd_tunnel.md).
To authorize a group to access the Agent through the [CI/CD Tunnel](ci_cd_tunnel.md),
use the `ci_access` attribute in your `config.yaml` configuration file.
When you authorize a project to use an agent through the [CI/CD Tunnel](ci_cd_tunnel.md),
the selected Kubernetes context is automatically injected into CI/CD jobs, allowing you to
run Kubernetes commands from your authorized projects' scripts. When you authorize a group,
all the projects that belong to that group can access the selected agent.
An Agent can only authorize groups in the same group hierarchy as the Agent's configuration project. At most
100 groups can be authorized per Agent.
An Agent can only authorize projects or groups in the same group hierarchy as the Agent's configuration
project. You can authorize up to 100 projects and 100 groups per Agent.
To authorize a group:
### Authorize projects to use an Agent
1. Edit your `config.yaml` file under the `.gitlab/agents/<agent name>` directory.
1. Add the `ci_access` root attribute.
1. Add the `groups` attribute into `ci_access`.
1. Add the group `id` into `groups`, identifying the authorized group through its path.
To grant projects access to the Agent through the [CI/CD Tunnel](ci_cd_tunnel.md):
For example:
1. Go to your Agent's configuration project.
1. Edit the Agent's configuration file (`config.yaml`).
1. Add the `projects` attribute into `ci_access`.
1. Identify the new project through its path:
```yaml
ci_access:
# This agent is accessible from CI jobs in projects in these groups
groups:
- id: group/subgroup
```
```yaml
ci_access:
projects:
- id: path/to/project
```
### Authorize groups to use an Agent
To grant access to all projects within a group:
1. Go to your Agent's configuration project.
1. Edit the Agent's configuration file (`config.yaml`).
1. Add the `groups` attribute into `ci_access`.
1. Identify the group or subgroup through its path:
```yaml
ci_access:
groups:
- id: path/to/group/subgroup
```

The Agent is always configured in a GitLab project, but you can:
- [Grant your cluster's access to GitLab groups through the Agent](../../clusters/agent/repository.md#authorize-groups-to-use-an-agent).
- [Share access to the Agent with other projects and groups through the CI/CD Tunnel](../../clusters/agent/ci_cd_tunnel.md#share-the-cicd-tunnel-provided-by-an-agent-with-other-projects-and-group).
The Agent is always configured in a single GitLab project, but you can use the CI/CD Tunnel to
[authorize other projects and groups to use the same Agent](../../clusters/agent/repository.md#authorize-projects-and-groups-to-use-an-agent).
By doing so, you are granting these projects and groups access to the same cluster, which is similar to group-level clusters' use case.
