Bug Fixes

  • Control Center Access Control Logic Fix

    • Fixed access control discrepancy where users with ControlCenterAdmin role were incorrectly granted access when the role requirement setting was disabled.
    • Correct Behavior: When require_member_of_control_center_admin is DISABLED (default), only the regular Admin role grants access. The ControlCenterAdmin role is only checked when the setting is ENABLED.
    • Files Modified: functions_authentication.py (decorator logic), route_frontend_control_center.py (frontend access computation), _sidebar_nav.html and _top_nav.html (menu visibility).
    • (Ref: control_center_required decorator, role-based access control)
    • Access was overly restrictive and inconsistent with the logic outlined in app settings, this aligns it. Previous version did not allow unauthorized users.
  • Disable Group Creation Setting Fix

    • Fixed issue where "Disable Group Creation" setting was not being saved from Admin Settings or Control Center pages.
    • Root Cause 1: Form field name mismatch - HTML used disable_group_creation but backend expected enable_group_creation.
    • Root Cause 2: Missing onclick handler on Control Center's "Save Settings" button.
    • Files Modified: route_frontend_admin_settings.py (form field reading), control_center.html (button handler).
    • (Ref: group creation permissions, admin settings form handling)

Control Center Access Control Logic Review

The control_center_required Decorator Logic

The decorator accepts an access_level parameter: 'admin' or 'dashboard'

Setting State 'admin' access level 'dashboard' access level
require_member_of_control_center_admin = DISABLED (default) Only Admin role grants access Admin role grants access OR ControlCenterDashboardReader role grants access (if that setting is enabled)
require_member_of_control_center_admin = ENABLED Only ControlCenterAdmin role grants access ControlCenterAdmin role grants access OR ControlCenterDashboardReader role grants access (if that setting is enabled)

Key Points:

  • When the ControlCenterAdmin setting is DISABLED, the ControlCenterAdmin role is ignored completely
  • When the ControlCenterAdmin setting is ENABLED, the regular Admin role does NOT grant access

Frontend Route

Route Decorator Logic
GET /admin/control-center @control_center_required('dashboard') Dashboard-level access: allows Admin, ControlCenterAdmin (when enabled), or DashboardReader

The frontend route also computes has_full_admin_access for template rendering, following the same conditional logic.


Backend APIs - By Category

User Management APIs (all use @control_center_required('admin'))

Route Method Purpose
/api/admin/control-center/users GET Get all users with pagination/filtering

/api/admin/control-center/public-workspaces/bulk-action POST Bulk actions on workspaces

Activity Trends APIs (use @control_center_required('dashboard')) ✅ Correct

Route Method Purpose
/api/admin/control-center/activity-trends GET Get activity trends data for charts
/api/admin/control-center/activity-trends/export POST Export activity trends data
/api/admin/control-center/activity-trends/chat POST Chat analysis on activity trends

These correctly use 'dashboard' level since dashboard readers should be able to view activity trends.


Admin Data Management APIs (all use @control_center_required('admin'))

Route Method Purpose
/api/admin/control-center/refresh POST Refresh/recalculate cached metrics
/api/admin/control-center/refresh-status GET Get refresh status
/api/admin/control-center/migrate/status GET Get migration status
/api/admin/control-center/migrate/all POST Run migration
/api/admin/control-center/activity-logs GET Get raw activity logs

Control Center Approval APIs (use @control_center_required('admin'))

/api/admin/control-center/approvals/<approval_id>/approve POST Approve request
/api/admin/control-center/approvals/<approval_id>/deny POST Deny request

Standalone Approval APIs (use only @login_required) ⚠️ Note

Route Method Purpose
/api/approvals GET Get approvals visible to current user
/api/approvals/<approval_id> GET Get single approval by ID
/api/approvals/<approval_id>/approve POST Approve request
/api/approvals/<approval_id>/deny POST Deny request

These are intentionally accessible to all logged-in users because:

  • Group owners need to see/handle approval requests for their groups
  • The function get_pending_approvals internally filters based on user's roles and group ownership
  • Non-admins can only see approvals for groups they own

Summary of Access Control Logic

Access Level What it grants
'admin' Full management access (CRUD operations on users, groups, workspaces)
'dashboard' Read-only dashboard access (view statistics, activity trends)
Setting Effect
require_member_of_control_center_admin = OFF Admin role = full access, ControlCenterAdmin role = ignored
require_member_of_control_center_admin = ON ControlCenterAdmin role = full access, Admin role = no access
require_member_of_control_center_dashboard_reader = ON ControlCenterDashboardReader role = dashboard-only access

Verification: All APIs Follow Correct Logic

  1. Management APIs ('admin'): Users, Groups, Workspaces, Migrations, Activity Logs, Approvals (admin path)
  2. Dashboard APIs ('dashboard'): Activity Trends (3 endpoints)
  3. Standalone Approvals (@login_required only): Intentionally open to allow group owners

The implementation is consistent and follows the correct switch-based logic we fixed earlier.

## PR Summary: Video Indexer Multi-Modal Enhancements

### Overview
This PR introduces significant enhancements to video processing and image analysis capabilities, focusing on multi-modal AI features and improved metadata handling. **Version updated from 0.233.167 to 0.233.172**.

### 🎯 Key Features

#### 1. **Multi-Modal Vision Analysis for Images**
- Added AI-powered vision analysis for uploaded images using GPT-4 Vision or similar models
- Extracts comprehensive image insights including:
  - AI-generated descriptions
  - Object detection
  - Text extraction from images (OCR)
  - Detailed visual analysis
- New admin setting: `enable_multimodal_vision` to control feature availability
- Vision analysis results stored in document metadata and included in AI Search indexing
- Connection testing endpoint added for vision model validation

#### 2. **Enhanced Document Metadata Citations**
- Implemented metadata-based citations that surface document keywords, abstracts, and vision analysis
- New citation types displayed with distinct visual indicators:
  - **Keywords**: Tagged with `bi-tags` icon, labeled as "Metadata"
  - **Abstract**: Document summaries included as contextual citations
  - **Vision Analysis**: AI-generated image insights labeled as "AI Vision"
- Metadata content passed to AI models as additional context for more informed responses
- Special modal view for metadata citations (separate from standard document citations)

#### 3. **Image Message UI Improvements**
- Enhanced display for user-uploaded images vs AI-generated images
- Added "View Text" button for uploaded images with extracted content or vision analysis
- Collapsible info sections showing:
  - Extracted OCR text from Document Intelligence
  - AI Vision Analysis results
- Proper avatar distinction between uploaded and generated images
- Improved metadata tracking with `is_user_upload` flag

#### 4. **Video Indexer Configuration Updates**
- **BREAKING CHANGE**: Removed API key authentication support
- Now exclusively uses **Managed Identity authentication** for Video Indexer
- Updated admin UI documentation to guide managed identity setup:
  - Enable system-assigned managed identity on App Service
  - Assign "Video Indexer Restricted Viewer" role
  - Configure required ARM settings (subscription ID, resource group, account name)
- Improved validation for required Video Indexer settings
- Enhanced error messaging for missing configuration

#### 5. **Search Scope Improvements**
- Fixed search behavior when `document_scope='all'` to properly include group documents
- Added `active_group_id` to search context when document scope is 'all' and groups are enabled
- Conditional group index searching - only queries group index when `active_group_id` is present
- Prevents unnecessary searches and potential errors when groups aren't in use

#### 6. **Image Context in Conversation History**
- Enhanced conversation history to include rich image context for AI models
- Extracts and includes:
  - OCR text from Document Intelligence (up to max content length)
  - AI Vision analysis (description, objects, text)
  - Structured prompt formatting for multimodal understanding
- **Important**: Base64 image data excluded from conversation history to prevent token overflow
- Only metadata and extracted insights passed to models for efficient token usage

### 🔧 Technical Improvements

#### Backend Changes
- **route_backend_chats.py**: 
  - Added metadata citation extraction logic (~150 lines)
  - Enhanced conversation history building for image uploads
  - Improved search argument handling for group contexts
  
- **functions_documents.py**:
  - New `analyze_image_with_vision_model()` function for AI vision analysis
  - Enhanced `get_document_metadata_for_citations()` integration
  - Vision analysis now runs BEFORE chunk saving to include insights in AI Search indexing
  - Removed redundant blob storage for vision JSON (stored in document metadata)
  
- **route_backend_settings.py**:
  - New `_test_multimodal_vision_connection()` endpoint for testing vision models
  - Supports both APIM and direct Azure OpenAI endpoints
  - Test uses 1x1 pixel sample image for validation

- **functions_search.py**:
  - Added conditional logic for group search execution
  - Prevents empty `active_group_id` from causing search errors

#### Frontend Changes
- **chat-messages.js** (~275 lines changed):
  - Enhanced `appendMessage()` to handle uploaded image metadata
  - New `toggleImageInfo()` functionality for expandable image details
  - Improved citation rendering with metadata type indicators
  - Debug logging for image message processing
  
- **chat-citations.js** (~70 lines added):
  - New `showMetadataModal()` function for displaying keywords/abstracts/vision analysis
  - Enhanced citation click handling to detect metadata citations
  - Separate modal styling and behavior for metadata vs document citations

- **admin_settings.html**:
  - Complete redesign of Video Indexer configuration section
  - Removed all API key references
  - Added managed identity setup instructions with step-by-step guidance
  - Updated configuration display to show resource group and subscription ID

- **_video_indexer_info.html**:
  - Updated modal content to clarify managed identity requirement
  - Added warning banner about authentication type
  - Enhanced configuration display with ARM resource details

### 📊 Files Changed
- **16 files** modified
- **+1,063 insertions**, **-412 deletions**
- Net change: **+651 lines**

### 🧪 Testing Considerations
- Test multi-modal vision analysis with various image types
- Validate metadata citations appear correctly in chat responses
- Verify Video Indexer works with managed identity authentication
- Test search scope behavior with and without groups enabled
- Validate image upload UI shows extracted text and vision analysis
- Confirm conversation history properly handles image context without token overflow

### 🔐 Security & Performance
- Managed identity authentication improves security posture (no stored API keys)
- Image base64 data excluded from conversation history prevents token exhaustion
- Metadata citations add minimal overhead while providing rich context
- Vision analysis runs efficiently during document processing pipeline

### 📝 Configuration Required
Admins must configure:
1. Enable `enable_multimodal_vision` in admin settings
2. Select vision-capable model (e.g., `gpt-4o`, `gpt-4-vision-preview`)
3. For Video Indexer: Configure managed identity and ARM resource details
4. Enable `enable_extract_meta_data` to surface metadata citations

---

This PR significantly enhances the application's multi-modal capabilities, providing users with richer context from images and documents while maintaining efficient token usage and robust security practices.
