Common questions

How do I see who is using Grammarly?
Install Northbeams across your fleet and your first sweep lands within 24 hours, with every Grammarly user attributed by name across browser, desktop, CLI, and MCP. No proxy, no MITM cert, no network change.
Can I block Grammarly?
Yes. Block it, allow it by team, or sandbox it in one click, and coach users toward a sanctioned tool at the DNS layer.
Is Grammarly sanctioned or high-risk?
That is your call. Northbeams sorts every tool as sanctioned, unknown, or high-risk and lets you set the policy per team. Grammarly sits in the unknown bucket by default until you decide.
