Permissions for Sitefinity AI features

To manage the permissions for Sitefinity AI features, perform the following:

1. Log in to Sitefinity CMS backend with an account that already has the Change AI permissions or an administrator account.
2. Navigate to Administration » Permissions.
   The Permissions screen opens.
3. Click AI in the list on the left.

The following AI permissions are available:

• Manage AI agents
  Configure who can manage Sitefinity AI agents.
  For more information, see Custom AI agents.
• Use AI agents
  Configure who can use AI agents in Sitefinity CMS backend.
  For more information, see Custom AI agents.
• Use backend chat assistant
  Configure who can use the DX Assistant chat experience.
  For more information, see DX Assistant.
• Use AI content generation and classification
  Configure who can use AI content generation and classification. For more information, see Sitefinity AI and Create tags with AI.
• Change AI permissions
  Configure who can manage the AI-related permissions.

The AI Agents module is responsible for managing the following permissions: Manage AI Agents, Use AI Agents, and Use backend chat assistant. The AI Services module is responsible for managing the following permissions: Use AI content generation and classification and Change AI permissions.

If you disable one of these modules, the respective permissions are not available to be configured in the backend and Sitefinity CMS uses their last configured values.

NOTE: You can grant the Use backend chat assistant permission but not the Use AI agents permission to a specific role. In this case, a user in this role can use the DX Assistant in chat-only mode without the ability to invoke AI agents.
