MAX

Profiles and bots

Choose and configure personal-account and bot profiles in the MAX CLI, including profile selection, defaults and separate login credentials.

A profile gives an account or bot a name and its own settings. Use profiles for multiple accounts, different assistant permissions or a bot.

Choose a profile

Put the profile name before the command:

max work config show

Without a name, the default profile is used. Settings in profiles.work apply to that profile; defaults applies when the profile has no value of its own. A profile is not a separate OS user: giving an assistant full file access may also give it access to other data.

Switch to a bot

Put bot after the profile name:

max support bot api get-my-info --json

These commands require a bot profile that is already connected. The messenger determines the bot account and permissions, independently of your personal account. Bots explains setup and provides examples.

Settings and access

Configuration explains the file, environment variables and flags. Permissions defines what each profile can do. To sign in, follow the sign-in guide.
