Access rules

Rules can be set on a key, a member and a team. A request has to pass every level that has a rule, so a key can narrow its team's rules but never widen them.

Rule	What it does
Allow or deny models	Only these models, or never these
Allow or deny providers	Only these providers, or never these
Price rules	Free models only, paid only, or a maximum price per million tokens
IP ranges	Only calls from these ranges, or never from these

Teams and roles

Owners and admins: Manage billing, keys, members and every project.
Project admins: Manage the projects they're given.
Developers: Use and create keys in their projects, within their budget.

Questions

What does a blocked request look like?

A 429 with type budget_exceeded for budgets, or a 403 for a rule, with a message saying which limit or rule stopped it.

Can I give a contractor a key with a hard cap?

Yes: a key with a total budget and an expiry date, limited to the models you choose.

Are there limits I don't set?

New organisations have daily and monthly spending caps that rise with account age and spend, to protect you and us from abuse. The limits page in your dashboard shows yours.
