Permissions
Access is governed in two layers, both reusing the existing permission system of the AI Suite. You find the rights in the backend group under Access rights, see also Permission Management.
1. The two feature permissions
| Permission | Key | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Enable Chat Interface | enable_cheddi_interface | Without this right the chat is not injected into the backend page at all, and every related request is rejected. It is the main switch per group |
| Enable Web Research | enable_web_research | Unlocks web research. Without the right the two research tools are unavailable, see Web research |
Both rights sit in the same section as the other AI Suite rights.
2. Model permissions and tool filtering
In addition, every group needs the rights for the models it may use in the chat. The model selection in the chat lists only models the group is authorized for. If none is enabled, the selection stays empty and the chat reports: “No chat model enabled. Please contact your administrator.”
The tool list is filtered the same way: the model is only offered the tools the logged-in user may actually run. This is checked again at execution time. Through the chat an editor can therefore do nothing they could not also do by hand in the backend.
