Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4350

Hi,

I’d like to customize the default permissions for each user role in AnythingLLM. Currently, roles like Default and Manager have fixed capabilities, but in my use case I’d like to adjust them.

For example:

  • Allow Default users to upload files into a workspace
  • Prevent Managers from changing the LLM provider or editing system-level settings

Could someone point me to the part of the codebase where these role permissions are defined, or if there is a recommended way to override them?

I’m using the official Docker image. I’ve been able to make some changes in the backend, but I cannot edit the frontend.

Thanks in advance!

This would be handled by #3799 since that will overhaul everything. If you are looking to modify permissions you want to checkout where strictMultiUserRoleValid or flexUserRoleValid are used on endpoints to expand their scope.

Strict means only these roles and only in multi-user mode. Flex means only these roles in multi user but also allow single user mode to access these endpoints.

Strict means only these roles and **only** in multi-user mode. Flex means only these roles in multi user **but also** allow single user mode to access these endpoints.
