Access: what data Chat can use for you

Chat answers only from the data your role and connector access allow. How to see your access level, and who can change it.

What it’s for

Chat answers from the data you can access. This article shows how to see what that is, and what to do when data is missing.

Before you start

Your role sets which parts of the app you can open, and your access level on each connector sets which data you can read.

Steps

See the data you can use

  1. Open the Data access panel in the sidebar.
  2. Open Connectors and Documents to see each one you can use.

The Data access panel, open to Connectors.

Ask for more access

  1. If the Data access panel shows 0 connectors, or a Connector Status banner says you have no connector access, choose Review connectors.
  2. Ask an Admin, or a Data Admin on the connector, to change your access level.

Check and fix

Once your access changes, the Data access panel counts the new connectors and Chat can answer from them.
