Uploaded Table Permissions

By default, uploaded tables are read-only — agents can query them but can't change the data. If you need agents to insert, update, or delete rows, an admin can enable modifications per table.

Default behavior

All uploaded tables start as read-only:

  • Agents generate SELECT queries only
  • INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations are blocked
  • This protects your data from accidental changes

No configuration is needed to get this behavior — it's the default for every new upload.

Enabling modifications

If you want agents to be able to change data in an uploaded table:

  1. Navigate to Data Connections → Uploaded Tables
  2. Select the table you want to modify
  3. Toggle Allow modifications on
Table Settings
Allow modifications
Agents can insert, update, and delete rows
Organization-wide visibility
All org members can query this table

When modifications are enabled, agents can:

  • Add new rows to the table
  • Update existing values in any column
  • Delete rows that match query criteria

Modifications affect the platform's copy of your data only — your original CSV or XLSX file is never changed.

Visibility and modification combinations

Visibility and modification permissions are separate controls. Here's how they interact:

Visibility Modifications Who can query Who can modify
Private Off Only you Nobody
Private On Only you Only you
Org-wide Off All members Nobody
Org-wide On All members All members

External databases are always read-only

The modification toggle only applies to uploaded CSV and XLSX tables. External database connections are always read-only — this is enforced at the code level and cannot be changed.
