- Team-level model availability determines which models are available to the team.
- Group model allowlists further restrict the models available to members of each group.
Configure group model availability
In Settings → Groups, open a group and select Edit models. Cascade and Command surfaces have separate selections:- Cascade Models
- Command Models
Resolve controls across groups
A user who belongs to one restricted group receives that group’s allowlist for the relevant surface. A user who belongs to multiple groups receives the union of every non-empty allowlist for that surface. Groups with an empty selection have no opinion and do not change the result. For example:
Cascade and Command are resolved independently. A user’s effective Cascade list can differ from their effective Command list.
The union gotcha
Under union semantics, each additional group can add models to the user’s effective availability. The union is the most permissive combination of the user’s non-empty group selections, still bounded by the models available to the team. For example, disjoint restrictions are combined rather than rejected:
A broad group can undo a narrow group’s restriction. If one group selects
Model A and another group selects Model A, Model B, and Model C, the user receives all three models. To restrict a user, every group they belong to must be restricted appropriately; one broad non-empty group can widen the effective result. An empty selection is different: it has no opinion and does not itself widen access.
An empty effective model list can still occur when stored selections contain only models no longer available to the team, or when team-level and other availability filtering leaves no matching models. This is separate from multi-group resolution: disjoint valid selections produce their union.
Where controls apply
Group model controls apply to:- Model pickers and available-model lists.
- Cascade requests.
- Command requests.
- Direct model requests at request time.
- Automatic model routing and assignment.
- Models selected indirectly by a router.
Devin CLI and Devin Local
Devin CLI and Devin Local use the Cascade group selection. They are not configured with a separate group-level CLI allowlist. The CLI’s available model list and request-time model checks follow the Cascade policy. An empty Cascade selection has no effect; it produces the team’s available Cascade models only when no other group contributes a non-empty Cascade selection. It does not by itself disable or broaden the CLI.Private team models
Private models configured for the team are also filtered by the applicable group controls. Private team models do not bypass a member’s Cascade or Command restrictions.Can a group make a team model available?
Can a group make a team model available?
No. Groups can only narrow the models already available to the team. Team-level model availability is always the upper bound.
What does an empty group selection mean?
What does an empty group selection mean?
It means the group has no opinion about model access for that surface. If no group the user belongs to has a non-empty selection, the user receives the models available to the team. If another group is restricted, the empty selection does not override that restriction.
What happens when a user belongs to multiple restricted groups?
What happens when a user belongs to multiple restricted groups?
The non-empty allowlists are unioned separately for Cascade and Command. Disjoint selections are combined, so a user with
Model A in one group and Model B in another can use both, subject to team availability. To keep a user restricted, review every group they belong to because a broad non-empty selection can widen access.Can automatic routing bypass a group restriction?
Can automatic routing bypass a group restriction?
No. Automatic routing and assignment are evaluated against the models remaining after team and group controls are applied, so a disallowed model cannot be reached indirectly.
