Public vs Private View

This guide explains how visibility works for Agents and Workflows in Kompass, and how to switch them from Private → Public.


Understanding Visibility

By default, all agents and workflows are created as Private.

Private Mode

  • Only the creator (your account) can view and access the agent/workflow
  • Other users in the system cannot see or use it
  • Ideal for:
  • Development
  • Testing
  • Iteration

Public Mode

  • The agent/workflow becomes visible to other users
  • Other users can:
  • Discover it
  • Use it (based on access rules)
  • Useful for:
  • Sharing reusable workflows
  • Enabling collaboration
  • Publishing production-ready assets

How to Make an Agent or Workflow Public

1. Navigate to Agent/Workflow

Open the agent or workflow from the Kompass Admin Interface.

Navigate to Agent


Locate Visibility Setting

At the top of the interface, you will see the current status as Private.

How Visibility Impacts Usage

Mode Who Can See Who Can Use
Private Only you Only you
Public All users Based on access permissions

Best Practices

  • Keep workflows Private while building and testing
  • Make them Public only after validation
  • Use Public mode for reusable templates and production workflows

Tip

Visibility Behavior for Workflows vs Agents

If you make a workflow public but keep the agent private:

  • Other users can see and access the workflow
  • However, they cannot view or access the underlying agent configuration

This allows you to share workflows while keeping agent logic secure and controlled.
