Role-based access controls for Assist
For Enterprise and Business plans, Retool now allows admins to control access to Assist and its Ask and Build modes. Organization admins can use roles and permissions to create roles and edit roles with one of the following permissions:
- Use Assist with Ask and Build mode
- Use Assist with Ask mode only
- No access to Assist
By default, all users have access to Assist and both Ask and Build mode through a preconfigured role. This role is called Assist Role or Editor, based on when your organization was created. Organization admins can edit these roles, or they can create new roles with more restrictive permissions.
This change is valuable for organizations that need to limit or prevent Assist usage to specific populations of users. For example, admins might wish to restrict Assist usage to user groups who do not have access to sensitive data or PII. Alternatively, admins could restrict access to all user groups except for a pilot group testing AI tools.
