Summary
Viewer-role users can now use the Slack agent in read-only mode. They can ask questions about the docs and connected sources, but the agent's file-editing, commit, and pull request tools are unavailable, and third-party integrations are filtered to read-only actions.
Changes
Note
Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only updates clarifying Slack agent capabilities per RBAC role, with mirrored translation changes.
Overview
Documents role-based Slack agent behavior: adds a new Roles and permissions section on the Slack agent page stating that viewers can ask questions in read-only mode while editors/admins can also make doc changes.
Updates the
dashboard/rolespermission tables (English, Spanish, French, Chinese) with explicit rows for asking the Slack agent questions (all roles) and making changes via the Slack agent (editor/admin only), and mirrors the new Slack-page section across translations.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit bc5feb3.
