Each tool offers actions, sorted into Reading, Writing and Deleting. Each one has three settings. With no setting, Balt reads freely and asks before writing or deleting.

​
For the whole organization

On an organization account, an administrator opens the How Balt works for them menu, then Customise by action….
Action-by-action settings for the whole organization
  • Pick Deny, Ask or Automatic on each action.
  • Set all to applies the same setting to every action.
  • The setting covers the whole tool, across all its accounts.
  • People with a role of their own aren’t affected.

​
For one person

In the list of people, open their role menu, then Customise by action…. Their settings start from their role, and your changes win.
  • Copy from… takes another person’s settings.
  • Reset to level clears the changes and goes back to the role.
  • An action marked Switched off by the organization stays denied: a personal setting can’t reopen it.

​
Which setting wins

  1. An action the organization set to Deny stays denied for everyone.
  2. Otherwise, a person’s own setting beats their role.
  3. Their role beats the organization’s setting.
When a tool of an MCP server changes, its setting goes back to Ask.

​
In routines

A routine runs when no one is around. What it may do without asking is approved in a conversation with Balt, and shows on its page under Allowed without asking. These approvals only apply to that routine. See A routine’s page.
