Admin-managed sharing
Take control of an agent's sharing settings from Governance so only admins can change who has access.
Admin-managed sharing lets you lock an agent's access list so only admins can change it. Owners and editors can still open the agent and see who has access, but sharing controls in the agent editor become read-only. All sharing changes are made in Governance instead.
When to use it
Turn on admin-managed sharing when you need to:
- Enforce who can use a business-critical or sensitive agent
- Prevent owners from broadening access without review
- Keep sharing decisions auditable in one place
- Hand off ownership of sharing to a compliance or security team while leaving the agent owner in charge of configuration
What changes for owners and editors
When admin-managed sharing is on:
- The sharing dialog in the agent editor shows a banner explaining that an admin manages access
- Existing users, groups, and workspace-wide access stay visible as a read-only list
- Owners and editors cannot add people, change roles, or remove access from the editor
- Admins continue to manage the access list from Governance
Turning the toggle off restores normal sharing behavior, and owners and editors can manage access from the editor again.
How to turn on admin-managed sharing
- Go to Governance → Agents and open the agent
- Open the Sharing tab
- Toggle Admin-managed sharing on
While the toggle is on, use the same Sharing tab to add or remove users, groups, and workspace access. Toggle it off to return control to the agent's owners and editors.
