Overview

Enterprise users can authenticate to Devin CLI using their existing legacy Windsurf enterprise accounts. This provides a seamless experience for organizations already using Windsurf, with billing handled through the standard Windsurf legacy credit model. User management, team organization, SSO, RBAC, billing, and consumption are all inherited natively through the Windsurf dashboard. For most of your organizational needs, you should rely on the Windsurf dashboard.
Legacy Windsurf authentication for Devin CLI is available to legacy Windsurf Enterprise customers. Contact your account executive if you have questions about authentication, billing, or access.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before using legacy Windsurf authentication, ensure that:
  1. Your organization has a legacy Windsurf enterprise account
  2. You have an active legacy Windsurf user account that can use the agentic tools
No additional permissions are required to access Devin CLI. If your legacy Windsurf enterprise users can use Windsurf, they can use Devin CLI.

Installation via Devin Desktop

Devin CLI is bundled with Devin Desktop. An admin must first enable the option in Devin CLI Team Settings — see Team Settings for details. Once enabled, open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run Install Devin CLI. Alternatively, you can install using the standalone installer — see the Quickstart for instructions.

Authenticating

To authenticate with your legacy Windsurf enterprise account:
devin auth login
Follow the prompts and be sure to select the Log in with Windsurf for Enterprise option to authenticate through your organization’s identity provider.

Billing & Analytics

Usage through Devin CLI is billed using the standard Windsurf legacy credit model. All Devin CLI usage counts toward your organization’s existing legacy Windsurf enterprise allocation. The analytics and billing system are shared between Windsurf and Devin CLI. Use the Team Members dashboard to manage team organization or view consumption metrics across both products. Enterprise admins can also access usage analytics programmatically through the Analytics API to monitor consumption across their organization. For details about credit billing and usage tracking, refer to your enterprise agreement or contact your account executive.
