Purpose and Access

Agent ContributorsDesignates which Builders may manage and contribute to a specific agent.
Implicit AccessOwners and Admins always have access and are not listed here.
Page AccessOwner/Admin only.
Separate PermissionsManaging the agent, reading its conversations, reading what it remembers about people, and seeing users' automations are separate permissions. Being a contributor grants only the first.

Contributor Card

NameDisplays the contributor's name.
Email Β· AddedDisplays the contributor's email and the date they were added.
Conversation historySwitch deciding whether the contributor may open this agent's transcripts. On by default.
Participant DataDropdown setting the contributor's access to what the agent remembers about people. Defaults to No access, and is disabled while the organization switch is off.
AutomationsThree switches deciding what the contributor may do with the automations users create on this agent. All off by default. See Automations Switches.
Delete IconRemoves the contributor.

Conversation History Switch

On (default)Can open the full transcript of this agent's conversations.
OffCan manage the agent, but cannot read what its users said to it.
Default RationaleOn by default because contributors could always do this; existing contributors keep the access they had, and no data migration is required.
Owner/AdminAlways able to read conversation history, even with their own switch off.
No Organization SwitchUnlike participant data, this permission has no organization-wide master switch.
Blocked PagesConversation Detail, a participant's Conversation History, and Thread Analysis show a warning in place of the conversation. On Thread Analysis, the analysis panel still renders.
Entry Buttons"View Conversation" buttons stay visible everywhere, so people can see the feature exists and request access.
Access RecordingEvery opening of a transcript is recorded β€” who read it, whose conversation, and when.
Not CoveredShort previews elsewhere β€” the Dashboard's first line, Feedback Insight snippets, Conversation Analysis evidence quotes β€” are not hidden by this switch.
Privacy ModeA separate, organization-wide control. When it's on, content is removed for everyone once its retention window closes, regardless of this switch β€” see Privacy Mode.

Participant Data Levels

The Participant data dropdown offers five named levels. They are not a ladder: a sensitive reader sees more than an editor but cannot change anything.

No accessCannot see anything the agent remembers about participants. The default.
Read ordinary fieldsMay view ordinary remembered fields, but not special-category ones.
Read everything, change nothingMay view every remembered field, including special-category ones, but may not change or delete any of them.
Manage ordinary fieldsMay view, correct and delete ordinary fields. Special-category fields stay hidden entirely.
Manage everythingMay view, correct and delete every remembered field, including sensitive ones.
Organization SwitchWhile the organization's Personalization switch for staff access is off, every level is inert and the dropdown is disabled.

Automations Switches

Can view automationsLets the contributor open the Automations Monitor and see the automations users created on this agent. Off by default.
Can view execution historyLets the contributor see each automation's run history. Needs Can view automations; disabled while it is off.
Can pause, resume and disableLets the contributor govern automations from the Monitor. Needs Can view automations; disabled while it is off.
Summary LineUnder the switches, a sentence spells out what the combination allows, for example "Can see users' automations, but not their run history, and cannot pause or disable them."
DeletingNot a contributor permission. Only Organization Owners and Admins can delete an automation from the Monitor.
