Short answer
You can assign index-specific permissions like chat, file access, and semantic map controls, plus organization-wide permissions for managing indexes, users, and billing.

Full explanation
When inviting a new user to AskTuring, you can set their permissions in two main categories:

Index Scope permissions – Control what the user can do within a specific index:

  • Chat – Allows the user to ask questions and interact with the AI in that index.

  • Read Files – Lets the user view documents in the index.

  • Manage Files – Allows uploading, editing, moving, and deleting documents.

  • Share Files – Permits sharing files from the index with others.

  • Read Semantic Map – Lets the user view the semantic map terms for the index.

  • Manage Semantic Map – Allows adding, editing, or deleting semantic map terms.

  • View everyone’s chat history – Gives the user access to past chats from all users in that index.

  • Read Emails – Allows the user to view emails that were sent directly into the index as an alternative to uploading documents.

  • Manage Emails – Allows adding, editing, or deleting these emails.

  • Manage public interface – Controls public-facing tools connected to that index.

Organization Scope permissions – Control access and management across the entire organization:

  • Manage Index – Lets the user create, edit, or delete indexes.

  • Manage Users – Allows inviting, removing, or changing permissions for organization members.

  • Manage Billing – Grants access to subscription and payment settings.

Tips

  • Only give the permissions necessary for the user’s role.

  • You can update a user’s permissions at any time from the User Management tab.
