Unable to make assistants private

[samuelhalff]

What happened?

I have enabled "privateAssistants" to true in my yaml, also tried "private: true" as per what I read in the codebase.

Yet all users see assistants regardless of who has created them (created test assistants after enabling to true, still no go). The config of the assistant isn't available, but the assistants work from all accounts.

I manually added "metadata.author" to an assistant with user objectID, but still this assistant is visible to all.

What can I try to solve this ? Some assistants have access to confidential data using admin tokens.

I realise this might be the correct functionning of the feature, hiding config but allowing users to access it. If so, how do I allow only specific users to access specific assistants, or only admins , etc ?

Thanks for your amazing work.

I don’t see your config. Note: privateAssistants do not work with supportedIds or excludedIds

https://www.librechat.ai/docs/configuration/librechat_yaml/object_structure/assistants_endpoint#privateassistants

also I highly recommend not to use assistants as OpenAI is sunsetting this service and I will no longer be maintaining them

[samuelhalff]

I will use agents then.
I did not use exclude or support ids.
This config may be buggy and perhaps it should be clarified in the documentation that the use of assistants is no longer recommended? Sorry if I missed such a warning.
Thanks a lot.
