Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

  • I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

When navigating to "Admin Settings > Documents" an admin is able to limit the the number of files and file size a user is able to upload to a chat thread via the "Max Upload Size" and "Max Upload Count" fields; however, the same fields are not available for limiting the file size and number of uploads to a Knowledge Base located in Workspace > Knowledge.

Desired Solution you'd like

Our team would like two fields, potentially named "Knowledge Max Upload Size" and "Knowledge Max Upload Count", within "Admin Setting > Documents" that allows admins to limit the max upload size for a particular file into a knowledge base and a max upload count which limits the number of files a user can upload into a knowledge base.

Yes, this would be very useful.
Besides limits on number of documents and their size, it would also be useful to have a list of things to ignore/not include. To be able to filter out things like /node_modules.

@tjbck I could work on and contribute this feature, if desired. Already have a working prototype.
Would it be better as a global setting or a group permission?
I am leaning towards the latter, but I also see that similar chat limits are only exposed as global settings.
