We are comparing Pinecone assistant few other competitors for Implementing RAG based Knowledge base management. We are looking for a feature that enables user based access levels at Assistant level or its equivalent level.

Hi @dandur,

Thanks for your excellent feedback. While it’s not currently possible to configure role or user based access control, I’m passing your request on to the Assistants team to ensure they’re aware of it.

Best,
