Providing access control at the bot level gives admins flexibility to restrict certain LLMs to certain groups of users as well as restricting content from specified channels.
User access controls
By default, a bot has no restrictions placed on it. User access is set to ‘Allow all users’ and channel content access is set to ‘All all channel content’
Allowing only selected users
When the Allow selected users radio button is selected, a textarea reveals below where admins can enter and select individual users, custom user groups, LDAP groups, or entire Teams.
When users start typing in the text field, the autocomplete menu displays and narrow down as you type. This menu includes individual users, groups and Teams.
When users are selected, chips are added to the field.
Chips can be removed by clicking the x icon on the right side of the chip.
Blocking selected users
When the Block selected users radio button is selected, a text area is revealed below where admins can enter and select individual users, custom user groups, LDAP groups, or entire Teams.
This field behaves the same as the allow text area above with the autocomplete and chip interactions.
Channel access controls
Channel access can be configured similarly to user access. Admins can choose to allow access to all channels, allow access to specified channels, or block access to specified channels.
Allow access to all channels (default)
Allowing access to content from selected channels
When the Allow bot to access content in specific channels radio button is selected, a text area is revealed below where admins can enter and select individual channels, or entire Teams.
When you click in the field and start typing, an autocomplete menu displays with options that narrow down as you type.
When an item is selected from the autocomplete list, a chip is added to the text area.
Blocking access to content from selected channels
When the Block bot access to content in specific channels radio button is selected, a text area is revealed below where admins can enter and select individual channels or entire Teams.
This field behaves the same as the allow text area above with the autocomplete and chip interactions.
