# Managing Permissions

After sharing a chat, you can review who has access, add more people, or revoke access at any time.

## Viewing current permissions

1. Open the chat.
2. Click the **people icon** in the toolbar to open the share dialog.
3. The **Shared with** section lists everyone who currently has access.

Each entry shows:

- An avatar indicating whether the entry is a user or a group.
- The user's name and email, or the group's name.
- The access level (displayed as a label, such as "view").

If no one has been added yet, the section displays "No shared users yet."

## Adding access

1. Open the share dialog.
2. Use the search field to find a user or group in your workspace.
3. Select the user or group from the dropdown.
4. Click **Add**.

New recipients are granted **view** access by default. This allows them to read the conversation but not modify it.

You can share with both individual users and groups. When you share with a group, every member of that group receives access.

### Notes

- You cannot share a chat with yourself (the chat owner is excluded from the list).
- If a user is already part of a group that has access, adding them individually will not cause any issues. They will appear twice in the list and either entry can be removed independently.

## Removing access

1. Open the share dialog.
2. In the **Shared with** list, find the user or group you want to remove.
3. Click the **delete icon** (trash can) next to their entry.

Access is revoked immediately. The user will no longer be able to view the chat the next time they try to open it.

### Removing group access

When you remove a group, all members of that group lose access unless they also have individual access. If a user was shared with both individually and through a group, removing the group entry only removes the group-level access. Their individual entry remains.

## Who can manage permissions

- **Chat owners** have full control over who can access their chats.
- **Workspace admins** can manage sharing for any chat in the workspace, even if they did not create it.

Regular users who have been shared a chat (view-only access) cannot modify permissions. The share icon will not appear in their toolbar.

## Permission levels

| Level | What it allows |
|-------|---------------|
| View  | Read the conversation transcript and tool call details. |
| Admin | Full control, including managing who the chat is shared with. Automatically granted to the chat owner. |

When you share a chat with someone, they receive **view** access. The **admin** level is reserved for the chat owner and is assigned automatically.
