# How do I turn off AI access?

Open **Settings → Connections** and turn off **Allow local assistant access**. The pane shows "Off." and no assistant can read anything from Storage Studio until you turn it back on.

To cut off one particular assistant but keep others, regenerate the access key and reconnect only the ones you still want.
