Key Features

Key Features of InspectRAG

1. OpenID Authentication

  • Single Sign-On (SSO): Users log in once using OpenID, gaining access to multiple systems, including InspectRAG, without repeated authentication.
  • LDAP Integration with Active Directory: OpenID can use LDAP to import users, roles, and groups directly from Active Directory (AD), ensuring seamless role-based access control.
  • Centralized Identity Management: Integrates with your organization’s identity provider to manage users efficiently.

2. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

  • Real-Time Role Syncing: Fetches user roles, groups, and permissions from Active Directory (AD) using OpenID’s LDAP integration.
  • Granular Access Control: Assigns permissions at multiple levels, ensuring users access only what is relevant to their roles.
  • Support for Nested Roles: Enables hierarchical access levels for more complex permission structures.

3. Real-Time File Uploads and Synchronization

  • Upload Files Directly via Chat: Users can upload documents in chat and query them immediately within the platform.
  • Connected Platform Integration: Configure InspectRAG to enable your content platforms (SharePoint, Confluence, Jira, Amazon S3, email, and more), granting access to both uploaded files and documents synced from those platforms.
  • Automatic File Sync: Ensures the vector database remains updated in real time, reflecting the latest changes.

4. Permission Matching for Secure Access

  • Dynamic Role Matching: When a user sends a query, InspectRAG matches their roles, groups, or username with the file permissions, creator, and access roles defined in the source platform (SharePoint, Confluence, Jira, S3, and others) to ensure secure access to file-specific content.
  • Permission-Based Responses:
  • If access is granted for the requested context, the AI returns relevant information from the files.
  • If access is denied for file-specific information:
    • For general queries not tied to specific files, the AI provides a general response based on available open information.
    • For queries specific to restricted files, the AI responds in a neutral, context-less manner. For example:
    • If a user asks about a restricted report, the response might be: "Without specific details, it's challenging to provide an exact answer. Reports vary widely depending on the scope and purpose."
    • Or, for a query about a restricted person in context, it might say: "There are many individuals with that name. Could you clarify further?"

This approach subtly limits responses without disclosing restricted access, keeping interactions seamless yet secure.

5. VectorDB for Metadata and Querying

  • Metadata Storage: Each document chunk includes:
  • file_id: Unique identifier for the document.
  • creator: User who created the document.
  • permissions: Roles or groups with access rights.
  • digest: Hash to detect content changes.
  • Fast Queries: Stores document embeddings with metadata for high-speed querying.
  • Delta Queries: Tracks incremental changes to ensure data consistency.

6. Multi-Platform Content Integration

  • Broad Platform Support: Works seamlessly across SharePoint (Online & On-Prem), OneDrive, network File Shares, Confluence, Jira (Cloud & On-Prem), Amazon S3, and email (Gmail/Outlook).
  • Cloud and On-Premise: Connect cloud services (e.g., SharePoint Online, Amazon S3, Jira Cloud) and on-premise systems (e.g., SharePoint On-Prem, Confluence, Jira On-Prem) side by side.
  • Webhooks and Event Receivers: Uses webhooks (SharePoint Online, Jira, Confluence, S3) and event receivers (SharePoint On-Prem) to notify InspectRAG when content changes, ensuring real-time synchronization.
  • Extensible by Design: New platforms can be added as your organization's needs evolve. See the Platform Integration Guides for setup details on each source.
