Centrally Enable/Disable GENAI Feature for Compass and Atlas Portal

What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

Globally Enable/Disable GENAI feature. Currently, if we disable or toggle the AI switch to 'disabled' in the Atlas Portal, this action only impacts the Data Explorer option within the Atlas Portal itself. The Compass tool, which acts as the client interface, keeps the AI feature enabled by default and can still interact with the database and execute queries.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

The main concern here is that there doesn’t seem to be a unified or central location to control the enablement or disablement of the AI feature across both Atlas Portal and Compass.

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

Currently it is only disabled at the Data Explorer level in Atlas Portal.

    Thanks for your feedback. Currently the best workaround is to use the enableGenAIFeatures setting in Compass' configuration file. We'll continue to explore your feedback to look for alternatives in the future.
