Files and people

Files and permissions

The team folder, folder rules, and how the server checks every file the AI opens as the person asking.

Company knowledge lives in one team folder on the server. Folder rules decide who sees what. The AI never sees more than the person asking.

#The team folder

FolderWho sees itUse it for
shared/As the rules say, usually everyoneCompany-wide documents
groups/<group>/That group, plus anyone a rule addsTeam documents, such as Sales or Finance
projects/<project>/As the rules sayWork with its own folder and instructions
skills/Everyone reads; skill managers writeTeam skills and team rules
users/<id>/Only that personPersonal files and personal skills

#How access is decided

One permission function on the server decides every access. The OS stops the AI from going around it.

  • A file you cannot open is invisible, not "denied". Files, AI answers, search, previews, version history, trash and live updates all follow the same rule.
  • A person's access comes from the nearest rule above the file that names them. Person rules come before group rules. With several groups, the widest access wins.
  • Changes apply at once. The AI reads permissions again on every tool call.
  • Removing access does not erase earlier answers that quoted a file.

#Change folder rules

Admins use Admin › Folder permissions.

  1. Pick a folder

    By folder shows the team folder as a tree. Each row says who can open it and where that comes from.

    Folder permissions, by folder
  2. Choose the basic access

    Follow the folder above, only the people named, everyone reads, or everyone reads and writes.

  3. Add people and groups

    Give each read, read and write, or no access. So "everyone reads, but not Bob" is possible.

  4. Check before saving

    The server works out who loses or gains access, and the Save button says it. Nothing changes until you save.

By person shows what one person, and so their AI, can see, and why.

Warning

skills/ holds instructions that every member's AI follows. Write access there makes someone a skill manager. Before the AI saves into skills/, the server asks a person to confirm.

#Working with files

The Files screen
  • Upload files or whole folders from the Files screen.
  • History: every change keeps a version you can open or restore.
  • Formats: the AI reads text from PDF, Office and HWP/HWPX files, and sees photos and scanned pages as images (admins can turn that off). Linux servers run no OCR.
  • Confirmation: when the AI would write restricted content somewhere more people can see, the server asks first.
