Computer use toggle added to admin settings
Administrators can now enable or disable computer use capabilities for all users from the AI settings page, with users seeing a warning when the feature is restricted.
Instance administrators can now control whether AI Assistant's computer use feature is available to users. A new toggle in the AI settings page allows admins to enable or disable the capability instance-wide.
When an administrator disables computer use, users lose access to the feature entirely. Instead of the normal setup interface, they see a warning message stating the feature has been disabled by their administrator. The connected gateway block and setup instructions are also hidden.
The toggle controls the existing localGatewayDisabled setting through inverted logic — turning the toggle on enables the gateway, turning it off disables it. This gives platform operators granular control over AI capabilities, which is particularly important for security-sensitive deployments.
The change lives in the AI settings section of the editor UI, specifically in the Instance AI settings view and the LocalGatewaySection component that renders the user-facing computer use interface.
