Chat Sharing

Chat sharing lets you give other users or groups read-only access to a Coder Agents conversation.

Share a chat

1. Open the chat you want to share on the Agents page. Only top-level chats can be shared; sub-agent chats inherit sharing from their parent.
2. Click the share icon in the chat top bar.
3. Click the Search for user or group field.
4. Search for and select a user or group.
5. Click Add member to grant Read access.
6. Copy the chat URL from your browser and send it to the recipients.

Coder does not create a separate share link or notify recipients. They must open the chat from the URL you send them.

Shared chat access

Viewers can open the chat from a direct link, view messages, stream live updates, and download chat attachments. They reach sub-agent chats by following sub-agent links inside the parent chat or by opening a direct URL.

Shared chats do not appear in the viewer's normal chat list. Viewers have read-only access: they cannot send or edit messages, regenerate the chat title, archive the chat, or change its sharing settings.

Disable chat sharing

Administrators can disable chat sharing for a deployment with --disable-chat-sharing, CODER_DISABLE_CHAT_SHARING, or disableChatSharing. When disabled, only chat owners can access their chats.
