Maia adds multi-user permissions and approvals to Hermes Agent

ASL_Dev · reddit · 2026-07-21

- The author is adapting **Hermes Agent** into **Maia**, an open-source system for **multi-user company environments** rather than a single-person assistant. - Maia adds **role-based access control** for files and folders, read/write distinctions, approval gates for sensitive edits, and a governance dashboard for admins. - It maps users through authenticated **Slack/Discord identities**, re-checks policy on every file operation, and can tag the right approver in the same thread before executing changes. - The project stays **model-agnostic**: it can work with cloud APIs, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Ollama, LM Studio, or other local inference servers, letting companies swap models without rewriting the governance layer.
