Discourse AI does not respect the "everyone" group

[Rusty_M]

It looks like this is the same known issue that causes problems with templates.

In this case, the ai-bot options appear, but the bot simply never responds.

Thanks for searching for prior issues!

I think the same applies here:

@JammyDodger

‘Everyone’ is more a pseudo group that includes anon, and probably shouldn’t be included as an available group to set here.

I think setting TL0 would be the thing to do.

You can not give anonymous users access to the chat bot, so using trust_level_0 is an effective solution for your use case.

@Roman reading through the code in Discourse I think this works now.

plugins/discourse-ai/assets/javascripts/discourse/components/ai-persona-editor.gjs

Is it time to close this off and remove the backwards compat code?

It’s a bit tricky. I originally added the everyone option because we wanted to let anonymous users see gists. Every feature has its own rules so I don’t think setting a Persona’s allowed groups to that will make the feature available to everyone.
