Limit Chat Model Access

Limit the model usage for specific user groups

With TypingMind Custom, you can control which chat model certain users can use and number of messages or characters they can send.

Here’s how!

Step 1: Assign tags to your team members

To customize AI agent access, you’ll first need to assign tags to your team members to categorize them into different user groups, follow these steps:

• Go to the “User list” section from the Admin Dashboard.
• Choose a member to whom you want to assign a tag.
• Click on that user email and create a tag.

This tag will be used later to control access to specific AI Chat Models.

Step 2: Manage AI Chat Model Access

1. Control AI Model Visibility

To control a chat model availability to certain users, do as follows:

• Go to the “Usage & Limits” section from the Admin Dashboard.
• Select a chat model you want to limit usage
• Under the Availability section, click on the drop-down list and select:
  • Available to users with tags: once you add tags, users in these certain tags are allowed to use the model
  • Available for all user except users with tags: user tags entered in this option will not be allowed to use the chat model.

2. Set Message and Character Limits

In addition to visibility controls, you can set limits on the number of messages or characters each user group can send and interact with an AI Model. Here's how:

• Go to Usage Limit → click on Model Limits
• Enter the following information:
  • Choose a pre-existing limit group, or create a new one to restrict message or character usage. Learn more about Limit Groups.
  • Under the Apply for Users section, select Users with tags, then assign the relevant tags to ensure only those users can be applied the usage limits.

For example, you can allow 2000 messages per 3 hours for GPT4-o to be sent by users with a Marketing tag.

Use cases

1. Limit advanced AI Models for entry-level employees

Entry-level employees or interns may not need access to advanced AI models. Limiting their access saves resources and ensures only senior staff use the more powerful models.

• Tag entry-level employees as “Intern” and limit their access to GPT-3.5 model only with, for example, 100 messages per day.
• Keep advanced models available for senior employees.

2. Control AI usage for Customer Support

You might want to offer different levels of AI support to different customer segments, such as basic chatbots for regular users and advanced models for premium customers.

• Tag regular customers as “Basic” and premium customers as “Premium,” limiting the basic group to 5 messages can ask a day for GPT-4o and the premium group to 200 messages can ask a day for GPT-4o

3. Restrict AI Model access for Trial Users

If offering a trial of your product, limit how many messages trial users can send to prevent overuse and encourage upgrading to premium.

• Tag users as “Trial” and set a limit of 50 messages or 1,000 characters per day, which encourages trial users to upgrade while protecting your resources.

Note

Beside chat model restrictions, you can also restrict users access to certain prompts and AI Agents.
