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.

For new Business and Enterprise plan organizations, the All Users group does not have universal access permissions by default. Admin users can add permissions to the All Users group as needed.

This change was made to simplify the process of creating custom groups, eliminating the need to remove permissions from the All Users group before creating more permissioned groups.

This change does not impact existing organizations, or organizations upgrading from Free or Team plans.
