What would you like to see?

As an administrator, I would love to be able to fully disable the workspace chat:

I would like to be able to tell my users that their questions are anonymous and that they don't have to feel monitored.
This may not make much sense if the questions are sent to third-party APIs, but it does make sense in a local LLM scenario.

We can simply hide this UI, but we cannot disable chat history record keeping because otherwise the threads and historical content of users chats are lost and basically each message would be standalone or ephemeral

Hiding this UI would help. However to make this one trustable, re-enabling this UI at any point in time later on should not be possible for the given workspace.

We can make the option immutable - however, it would still have to come down to the user "trusting" that is enabled. Maybe there is a hint or detail we can add to multi-user chats they can discover to see if chats are visible/invisible to admins
