# Per-User Session Isolation Implementation Guide ## Overview This guide explains how to implement per-user session isolation in the ID Agents app so that each authenticated user has their own isolated workspace (chat histories, agents, patient data, etc.). ## Problem Currently, all users share the same `gr.State()` objects, meaning: - User A sees User B's chat messages - User A's agents appear in User B's dropdown - Everyone works in the same shared container ## Solution Use Gradio's `gr.Request` object to identify users and store their data separately in a `UserSessionManager`. ## Files Created 1. **user_session_manager.py** - Core session storage with thread-safe operations 2. **session_helpers.py** - Helper functions for getting/setting user data ## Implementation Steps ### Step 1: Update Function Signatures All functions that currently accept `gr.State` parameters need to accept `request: gr.Request` instead: **Before:** ```python def simple_chat_response(user_message, history): # Uses history parameter ... ``` **After:** ```python def simple_chat_response(user_message, request: gr.Request): # Gets history from session manager history = get_user_simple_chat_history(request) ... # Saves history back to session manager set_user_simple_chat_history(request, updated_history) ``` ### Step 2: Update Gradio Event Bindings When binding functions to Gradio components, remove `gr.State` from inputs/outputs and add `request`: **Before:** ```python simple_input.submit( simple_chat_response, inputs=[simple_input, simple_chat_history], outputs=[simple_chatbot, simple_input] ) ``` **After:** ```python simple_input.submit( simple_chat_response, inputs=[simple_input], # request is added automatically by Gradio outputs=[simple_chatbot, simple_input] ) ``` ### Step 3: Remove gr.State() Declarations In `build_ui()`, remove these lines: ```python simple_chat_history = gr.State([]) builder_chat_histories = gr.State({}) deployed_chat_histories = gr.State({}) ``` These are now managed by the session manager per-user. ## Functions That Need Updates ### Critical Functions (High Priority) 1. ✅ `simple_chat_response` - Already updated 2. ✅ `chatpanel_handle` - Already updated 3. `load_history` - Needs update 4. `reset_chat` - May need update if it affects per-user state 5. `save_deployed_agent` - If it stores to chat histories 6. `populate_from_preset` - If it affects builder state ### UI Event Bindings That Need Updates All `.click()`, `.submit()`, `.change()` handlers that currently use: - `simple_chat_history` - `builder_chat_histories` - `deployed_chat_histories` - Any other `gr.State()` objects ## Testing Checklist After implementation, test with 2 different user accounts simultaneously: - [ ] User1 and User2 have separate simple chat histories - [ ] User1's agents don't appear in User2's dropdown - [ ] User1 and User2 can build different agents without interference - [ ] Patient data is separate between users - [ ] Reset/clear functions only affect the current user - [ ] Logout/re-login maintains session (or clears if desired) ## Key Benefits 1. **True Multi-Tenancy**: Each user gets isolated workspace 2. **No Data Leakage**: User A cannot see User B's data 3. **Thread-Safe**: Concurrent users don't interfere with each other 4. **Scalable**: Can handle multiple simultaneous users 5. **Auditable**: Can log per-user actions for debugging ## Important Notes - `gr.Request` only works when authentication is enabled - Username comes from `request.username` (set by Gradio's auth system) - Session data is stored in memory (lost on restart - could be persisted to database if needed) - The session manager is thread-safe for concurrent access ## Migration Strategy ### Phase 1: Core Chat Functions (DONE) - ✅ simple_chat_response - ✅ chatpanel_handle ### Phase 2: Agent Management - load_history - save_deployed_agent - remove_selected_agent ### Phase 3: UI Bindings - Update all .click() and .submit() bindings - Remove gr.State declarations ### Phase 4: Testing & Verification - Multi-user testing - Session isolation verification - Performance testing ## Quick Reference ```python # Import at top of app.py (DONE) from user_session_manager import session_manager, get_username_from_request, SessionKeys from session_helpers import ( get_user_simple_chat_history, set_user_simple_chat_history, get_user_builder_chat_histories, set_user_builder_chat_histories, get_user_deployed_chat_histories, set_user_deployed_chat_histories, get_current_username, log_user_access ) # In any function: def my_function(user_input, request: gr.Request): username = get_current_username(request) log_user_access(request, "my_function") # Get user-specific data data = session_manager.get_user_data(username, "my_key", default=[]) # Process... # Save user-specific data session_manager.set_user_data(username, "my_key", new_data) ``` ## Next Steps To complete the implementation: 1. Search for all `gr.State(` declarations and remove them 2. Search for all functions that have `histories` or `history` parameters 3. Update each function to use session helpers 4. Update all Gradio event bindings 5. Test with multiple users 6.
