Concrete capability record

Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits

A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.

01 · Records and state owned

Workspace, study, participant, and research context exposed by the early-access tools.

02 · Data you can retrieve

Workspace, study, participant, and research context exposed by the early-access tools.

03 · Actions and write paths

Create studies, recruit participants, and launch tests through supported tools.

04 · Authentication and permissions

UserTesting workspace authentication Workspace controls and early-access eligibility apply.

05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery

Consequential writes should require explicit review; use vendor confirmation controls where available. Limited access; study launches spend budget and contact participants, so explicit approval is mandatory.

06 · Gaps and implementation limits

Limited access; study launches spend budget and contact participants, so explicit approval is mandatory.

Role: provider

Read scope: Workspace, study, participant, and research context exposed by the early-access tools.

Write scope: Create studies, recruit participants, and launch tests through supported tools.

Authentication: UserTesting workspace authentication

Approval boundary: Consequential writes should require explicit review; use vendor confirmation controls where available.

Protocol does not erase product boundaries.

Confirm the current tool catalog, plan, region, scopes, rate limits, terms, and write behavior before implementation.

Evidence and dates

First-party references, with publisher and review dates separated

“Publisher updated” is shown only when the page exposes an update date. “BYO-UI reviewed” records when this research checked the reference. A missing publisher date is reported as missing—not replaced with the review date.
