Multi-User Email/Drive/Chat Implementation - COMPLETE

🎯 Overview

Implemented a complete multi-user system with:

• Zitadel SSO for enterprise authentication
• Per-user vector databases for emails and drive files
• On-demand indexing (no mass data copying!)
• Full email client with IMAP/SMTP support
• Account management interface
• Privacy-first architecture with isolated user workspaces

🏗️ Architecture

User Workspace Structure

work/
  {bot_id}/
    {user_id}/
      vectordb/
        emails/           # Per-user email vector index (Qdrant)
        drive/            # Per-user drive files vector index
      cache/
        email_metadata.db # SQLite cache for quick lookups
        drive_metadata.db
      preferences/
        email_settings.json
        drive_sync.json
      temp/               # Temporary processing files

Key Principles

✅ No Mass Copying - Only index files/emails when users actually query them ✅ Privacy First - Each user has isolated workspace, no cross-user data access ✅ On-Demand Processing - Process content only when needed for LLM context ✅ Efficient Storage - Metadata in DB, full content in vector DB only if relevant ✅ Zitadel SSO - Enterprise-grade authentication with OAuth2/OIDC

🔐 Authentication Flow

User → Zitadel SSO → OAuth2 Authorization → Token Exchange
     → User Info Retrieval → Workspace Creation → Session Token
     → Access to Email/Drive/Chat with User Context

Zitadel Integration

// Initialize Zitadel auth
let zitadel = ZitadelAuth::new(config, work_root);

// Get authorization URL
let auth_url = zitadel.get_authorization_url("state");

// Exchange code for tokens
let tokens = zitadel.exchange_code(code).await?;

// Verify token and get user info
let user = zitadel.verify_token(&tokens.access_token).await?;

// Initialize user workspace
let workspace = zitadel.initialize_user_workspace(&bot_id, &user_id).await?;

User Workspace

// Get user workspace
let workspace = zitadel.get_user_workspace(&bot_id, &user_id).await?;

// Access paths
workspace.email_vectordb()  // → work/{bot_id}/{user_id}/vectordb/emails
workspace.drive_vectordb()  // → work/{bot_id}/{user_id}/vectordb/drive
workspace.email_cache()     // → work/{bot_id}/{user_id}/cache/email_metadata.db

📧 Email System

Smart Email Indexing

NOT LIKE THIS ❌:

Load all 50,000 emails → Index everything → Store in vector DB → Waste storage

LIKE THIS ✅:

User searches "meeting notes" 
  → Quick metadata search first
  → Find 10 relevant emails
  → Index ONLY those 10 emails
  → Store embeddings
  → Return results
  → Cache for future queries

Email API Endpoints

GET    /api/email/accounts              - List user's email accounts
POST   /api/email/accounts/add          - Add email account
DELETE /api/email/accounts/{id}         - Remove account
POST   /api/email/list                  - List emails from account
POST   /api/email/send                  - Send email
POST   /api/email/draft                 - Save draft
GET    /api/email/folders/{account_id}  - List IMAP folders

Email Account Setup

// Add Gmail account
POST /api/email/accounts/add
{
  "email": "user@gmail.com",
  "display_name": "John Doe",
  "imap_server": "imap.gmail.com",
  "imap_port": 993,
  "smtp_server": "smtp.gmail.com",
  "smtp_port": 587,
  "username": "user@gmail.com",
  "password": "app_password",
  "is_primary": true
}

💾 Drive System

Smart File Indexing

Strategy:

1. Store file metadata (name, path, size, type) in database
2. Index file content ONLY when:
   • User explicitly searches for it
   • User asks LLM about it
   • File is marked as "important"
3. Cache frequently accessed file embeddings
4. Skip binary files, videos, large files

File Content Extraction

// Only index supported file types
FileContentExtractor::should_index(mime_type, file_size)

// Extract text content
let content = FileContentExtractor::extract_text(&path, mime_type).await?;

// Generate embedding (only when needed!)
let embedding = generator.generate_embedding(&file_doc).await?;

// Store in user's vector DB
user_drive_db.index_file(&file_doc, embedding).await?;

Supported File Types

✅ Plain text (.txt, .md) ✅ Code files (.rs, .js, .py, .java, etc.) ✅ Markdown documents ✅ CSV files ✅ JSON files ⏳ PDF (TODO) ⏳ Word documents (TODO) ⏳ Excel spreadsheets (TODO)

🤖 LLM Integration

How It Works

User: "Summarize emails about Q4 project"
  ↓
1. Generate query embedding
2. Search user's email vector DB
3. Retrieve top 5 relevant emails
4. Extract email content
5. Send to LLM as context
6. Get summary
7. Return to user
  ↓
No permanent storage of full emails!

Context Window Management

// Build LLM context from search results
let emails = email_db.search(&query, query_embedding).await?;

let context = emails.iter()
    .take(5)  // Limit to top 5 results
    .map(|result| format!(
        "From: {} <{}>\nSubject: {}\n\n{}",
        result.email.from_name,
        result.email.from_email,
        result.email.subject,
        result.snippet  // Use snippet, not full body!
    ))
    .collect::<Vec<_>>()
    .join("\n---\n");

// Send to LLM
let response = llm.generate_with_context(&context, user_query).await?;

🔒 Security

Current Implementation (Development)

⚠️ WARNING: Password encryption uses base64 (NOT SECURE!)

fn encrypt_password(password: &str) -> String {
    // TEMPORARY - Use proper encryption in production!
    general_purpose::STANDARD.encode(password.as_bytes())
}

Production Requirements

MUST IMPLEMENT BEFORE PRODUCTION:

1. Replace base64 with AES-256-GCM

use aes_gcm::{Aes256Gcm, Key, Nonce};
use aes_gcm::aead::{Aead, NewAead};

fn encrypt_password(password: &str, key: &[u8]) -> Result<String> {
    let cipher = Aes256Gcm::new(Key::from_slice(key));
    let nonce = Nonce::from_slice(b"unique nonce");
    let ciphertext = cipher.encrypt(nonce, password.as_bytes())?;
    Ok(base64::encode(&ciphertext))
}

2. Environment Variables

# Encryption key (32 bytes for AES-256)
ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-32-byte-encryption-key-here

# Zitadel configuration
ZITADEL_ISSUER=https://your-zitadel-instance.com
ZITADEL_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
ZITADEL_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
ZITADEL_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8080/auth/callback
ZITADEL_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id

3. HTTPS/TLS Required
4. Rate Limiting
5. CSRF Protection
6. Input Validation

Privacy Guarantees

✅ Each user has isolated workspace ✅ No cross-user data access possible ✅ Vector DB collections are per-user ✅ Email credentials encrypted (upgrade to AES-256!) ✅ Session tokens with expiration ✅ Zitadel handles authentication securely

🚀 Getting Started

1. Run Migration

cd botserver
diesel migration run

2. Configure Zitadel

# Set environment variables
export ZITADEL_ISSUER=https://your-instance.zitadel.cloud
export ZITADEL_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
export ZITADEL_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
export ZITADEL_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8080/auth/callback

3. Start Server

cargo run --features email,vectordb

4. Add Email Account

1. Navigate to http://localhost:8080
2. Click "Account Settings"
3. Go to "Email Accounts" tab
4. Click "Add Account"
5. Fill in IMAP/SMTP details
6. Test connection
7. Save

5. Use Mail Client

• Navigate to Mail section
• Emails load from your IMAP server
• Compose and send emails
• Search emails (uses vector DB!)

🔍 Vector DB Usage Example

Email Search

// Initialize user's email vector DB
let mut email_db = UserEmailVectorDB::new(
    user_id, 
    bot_id, 
    workspace.email_vectordb()
);
email_db.initialize("http://localhost:6333").await?;

// User searches for emails
let query = EmailSearchQuery {
    query_text: "project meeting notes".to_string(),
    account_id: Some(account_id),
    folder: Some("INBOX".to_string()),
    limit: 10,
};

// Generate query embedding
let query_embedding = embedding_gen.generate_text_embedding(&query.query_text).await?;

// Search vector DB
let results = email_db.search(&query, query_embedding).await?;

// Results contain relevant emails with scores
for result in results {
    println!("Score: {:.2} - {}", result.score, result.email.subject);
    println!("Snippet: {}", result.snippet);
}

File Search

// Initialize user's drive vector DB
let mut drive_db = UserDriveVectorDB::new(
    user_id,
    bot_id,
    workspace.drive_vectordb()
);
drive_db.initialize("http://localhost:6333").await?;

// User searches for files
let query = FileSearchQuery {
    query_text: "rust implementation async".to_string(),
    file_type: Some("code".to_string()),
    limit: 5,
};

let query_embedding = embedding_gen.generate_text_embedding(&query.query_text).await?;
let results = drive_db.search(&query, query_embedding).await?;

📈 Performance Considerations

Why This is Efficient

1. Lazy Indexing: Only index when needed
2. Metadata First: Quick filtering before vector search
3. Batch Processing: Index multiple items at once when needed
4. Caching: Frequently accessed embeddings stay in memory
5. User Isolation: Each user's data is separate (easier to scale)

Storage Estimates

For average user with:

• 10,000 emails
• 5,000 drive files
• Indexing 10% of content

Traditional approach (index everything):

• 15,000 * 1536 dimensions * 4 bytes = ~90 MB per user

Our approach (index 10%):

• 1,500 * 1536 dimensions * 4 bytes = ~9 MB per user
• 90% storage savings!

Plus metadata caching:

• SQLite cache: ~5 MB per user
• Total: ~14 MB per user vs 90+ MB

🧪 Testing
