How does Connected Mode work for public projects?

SonarQube Cloud

I have a public github project I’m scanning with sonarcloud.

This project is public and visible to everyone.

Are users able to generate their own tokens for their own sonarcloud accounts and use connected mode for my project? I’m obviously not going to generate user tokens for all public contributors.

Hey :wave: thanks for your question!

Yes, generating user tokens to use with SonarLint’s connected mode is the responsibility of each user.

For a public project like yours, each user will create a connection using your project’s organization key and their user token; once this is done, they should be able to bind a folder to your project.
