Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/3517

What would you like to see?

Currently, AnythingLLM stores historical user conversations, which may pose privacy concerns for some users.
I propose an option to disable conversation history storage for all users, ensuring better privacy control.
This feature would allow administrators to choose whether conversations are retained or automatically discarded after a session.
Implementing this would align with privacy-conscious use cases and improve compliance with data protection policies.

I plan to give it to the developers on my team.
I don't think they will feel comfortable knowing that admin can see all their chats.
It would be great if we can have a configuration that prevents admins from viewing users chats.

I went over the documentation but probably missed it.
Thanks,
