Reader group content validation during login
When a reader logs in, the system will validate whether their reader group permissions match the widget’s content access filters. Only the intersecting permissions between the widget-level settings and reader group settings will be considered for validation.
This ensures that users see only the articles they are authorized for, in both widget-level and reader group permissions.

Once a domain is added to the Widget security list, any project member who wants to install the Eddy AI Chatbot on a different domain must add that domain in the Widget security section.
If no domains are added to the list, the Eddy AI Chatbot can be integrated into any SaaS application or public website.
