Who can access Context Manager from chat?

Learn which roles can open Context Manager from chat and why Explore users do not see the Context Manager button.

Who can access Context Manager from chat?

Context Manager is available from chat only when Context Manager is enabled for the workspace and the user has data model edit access.

If either condition is not met, the user will not see the Context Manager button in the chat input.

Requirements

A user can access Context Manager from chat only when both of these are true:

  1. Context Manager is enabled for the workspace.

  2. The user’s role includes data_model_edit permission.

Roles that can access Context Manager from chat

These roles include data model edit access:

  • Organization Admin

  • Admin

  • Developer

  • Developer without Deploy

Users with these roles can see and open Context Manager from chat when Context Manager is enabled for the workspace.

Roles that cannot access Context Manager from chat

These roles do not include data model edit access:

  • Explore

  • View

  • Embed

  • Embed with Scheduling

  • Embed with SQL

  • Restricted

Users with these roles will not see the Context Manager button in chat.

What about Explore users?

Explore users can use Zoë and analysis features that are available to their role, but Explore access does not include data model edit access.

That means Explore-only users cannot open Context Manager from chat.

If an Explore user needs to edit the data model or use Context Manager, a workspace admin should review whether the user should be moved to a Developer, Developer without Deploy, Admin, or Organization Admin role.

Troubleshooting

If a user expects to see Context Manager but does not:

  1. Confirm Context Manager is enabled for the workspace.

  2. Confirm the user has one of the roles with data model edit access.

  3. Confirm the user is in the correct workspace.

  4. Ask the user to refresh the page or log out and back in after a role change.

  5. If the issue persists, contact support with the user email, workspace name, and current role.
