# Accessing fylr through LinkrUI

{% hint style="info" %}
**BETA**: fylr integration is currently in active development from [Santa Cruz Software](https://santacruzsoftware.com/linkrui/)
{% endhint %}

## Required

Fylr requires linkrui capabilities in license. **Not part of fylr by default.** Contact support to obtain a new license including linkrui. The underlying fylr instance needs no additional configuration for the LinkrUI extension to work.

* **Authentication:** A login to a appropriately licensed fylr instance
* **Rights Management:** Permissions to see and download at least one object type with a file field

## Setup (for Google Workspace)

1. Install the "LinkrUI for Google Workspace" Add-On in your tool of choice
2. Open the LinkrUI Extension
3. Provide the fylr server URL, authenticate with your login
