Limit Research Assistant results to resources patrons can access
It would be nice at a configuration level to be able to limit the Research Assistant results to those within an institution's collection and OA as the default setting, rather than the entire CDI as it is currently.
Users could then select to expand their search to the CDI, like they currently do when searching Primo.

I understand why RA initially needs to do a comprehensive search to provide an accurate overview, there needs to be a way for users readily to know what articles and sources they do and do not have access to. Right now, they click on the top 5 sources and get frustrated because so many of them aren't actually available in our collection...

There is an “Available online” option, which could be enabled by default or give libraries the option to enable it in the settings.
It causes a very bad impression and frustration for our users to obtain resources that they cannot access. -

this is essential, not a 'nice to have' feature in order for us to utilise RA in UK HEI Libraries
