How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (remote machine)

What happened?

Honestly not sure if this is a feature or a bug:

In a multi-user instance as an admin, I'm unable to see chat histories when navigating to the workspace/thread in our AnythingLLM instance. I can still see them under Settings/Interface > Admin > Workspace Chats, but not when I navigate to the thread itself.

I'm not sure if this is a scoping thing (which would be understandable, of course) or if we have something configured incorrectly, but it'd be great to pick up where someone else left off in a thread on my team, rather than having to pull the chat history from the Settings page.

(Apologies for any ignorance here as I'm a pretty new user.)

Thanks!

Are there known steps to reproduce?

  • Navigating to any other workspace other than mine just shows blank history as if it were a new thread.
  • Navigating to Settings/Interface > Admin > Workspace Chats confirms I have visibility into the history.

That is indeed the case. The admin is also technically a user and not just able to administer the instance - so their chats are isolated just like everyone elses so they can have their own interactions.

If they wanted to see everyones chats sent, that is available via the Workspace Chats page - as you saw.

I believe what this person meant was the following: in a workspace that includes both user A and user B, if user A creates a thread and interacts with it, can this thread be visible and interactive for user B as well?

In other words, is it possible for multiple users to interact with the same thread within the same workspace?
