Cline Enterprise lets administrators configure inference providers once from the Cline admin console. All organization members automatically receive the provider settings when they sign in — no individual API key distribution required.

How it works

Admin configures once

The admin selects a provider, enters credentials and settings, and saves the configuration in the Cline admin console.

Automatic distribution

Configuration is pushed to all signed-in organization members automatically. Members cannot switch to other providers or their personal Cline accounts.

Simplified member onboarding

New members get access to the configured provider immediately after signing in with SSO — no setup required on their part.

Consistent experience

Every developer in the organization uses the same models, regions, and settings.
Once remote provider configuration is enabled and saved, organization members cannot switch to personal Cline accounts or select other providers. Ensure the configured provider is accessible to all members before saving.

Accessing the admin console

  1. Sign in at app.cline.bot with an Admin or Owner account.
  2. Go to Settings → Cline Settings.
  3. Toggle on Enable settings to reveal the provider configuration options.

Provider setup

Before you begin

  • Administrator access to the Cline admin console (verify by navigating to Settings → Cline Settings)
  • An AWS account with Amazon Bedrock enabled and appropriate permissions
  • Your preferred AWS region (check model availability before choosing)

Admin configuration steps

1

Select the provider

In Settings → Cline Settings, open the API Provider dropdown and select Amazon Bedrock.
2

Configure Bedrock settings

Enter your AWS region, for example us-east-1 or us-west-2. This region is enforced for all organization members.
us-east-1 and us-west-2 have the broadest model availability. Check the AWS Global Infrastructure page if you need a specific region.
If your organization uses a private VPC endpoint for Bedrock, specify it here to route all API calls through your network perimeter.See AWS PrivateLink for Bedrock for setup instructions.
Enable this to allow Bedrock to automatically route requests to other regions when your primary region has capacity constraints. Useful for maintaining availability during high-demand periods.See Inference Profiles for details.
Routes requests to the optimal AWS region globally based on availability and latency.
Caches consistent portions of prompts across requests, reducing latency and cost for repeated interactions.See Prompt caching in Bedrock.

Save the configuration

Close the provider configuration panel and click Save on the settings page. All signed-in organization members begin using Amazon Bedrock with your settings immediately.
Click Save on the main settings page — closing the configuration panel alone does not save.

What members need to do

After the admin saves the configuration, each developer must add their AWS credentials to the Cline extension in VS Code. They can use:
  • An AWS profile configured with aws configure
  • Environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION)
  • An IAM role (if running in an AWS-managed environment)
Members do not choose the region or provider — those are enforced by the admin configuration.

Verification

  1. Confirm the provider shows as Amazon Bedrock in the Enabled provider field.
  2. Verify the settings persist after refreshing the page.
  3. Sign in with a member account and confirm only Bedrock is available as a provider.
For further details, see the AWS Bedrock documentation.

Updating provider settings

You can change provider settings at any time from Settings → Cline Settings. Changes take effect for all organization members immediately after you save. To switch to a different provider entirely, select the new provider from the API Provider dropdown, complete the configuration, and save. Notify your team that they may need to configure new credentials locally.
