Short answer

How can I manage user seats and roles with my AI?

You can use your agent to pull user lists, change permissions, and adjust seat assignments. This lets you handle bulk updates and role changes without digging through settings menus. You'll see how the specific tool capabilities map to these actions below.

Management outcomes

Where your changes land.

These are the specific ways your AI interacts with CodeRabbit data.

USER DATA

View current users

The agent pulls a list of everyone in your account. You'll see exactly who is active and what their current status is.

ACCESS CONTROL

Update user roles

You can promote or demote users to change their access levels. This keeps permissions tight without manual configuration.

SEAT CONTROL

Adjust seat assignments

The AI handles adding or removing seats for specific users. You can also change how seats are assigned across the account.

HUMAN REVIEW

Manual verification

The AI won't delete users or change billing settings. You'll need to handle those specific actions yourself in the dashboard.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request seat changes.

Instead of navigating menus, you just tell your agent what needs to happen.

  1. Identify users

    The agent first gathers the current user list to ensure it has the right names and IDs for your request.

    list_users

  2. Modify permissions

    Once you identify who needs a change, the agent updates their role to match your instructions.

  3. Manage seat counts

    The agent can add or remove seats for specific individuals to keep your seat count accurate.

  4. Change assignment modes

    If you need to change how seats are distributed, the agent updates the seat mode for the account.
