Teams
Teams own API keys, balance, logs, and limits. Personal vs Standard teams, Owner, Admin, and Member permissions, invitations, and when to split work into teams.
What is a team#
A team is the unit of billing, access, and ownership. API keys, balance and payments, logs, usage, spending limits, and settings all live inside a team. A user can belong to several teams and switch between them with the team selector in the console sidebar.
Personal and Standard teams#
| Personal | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Created | Automatically when you sign up | With Create Team in the team selector |
| Members | Just you | Invite teammates |
| First top-up bonus | Eligible | Not eligible |
| Card verification reward | Eligible | Not eligible |
Both kinds of team use the same API, models, and pricing. See Billing for the first top-up bonus and card verification reward.
Roles#
Roles are set per team, so the same person can be an Owner in one team and a Member in another.
| Area | Action | Owner | Admin | Member |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Usage | View overview, analysis, and logs | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| API keys | Create a key | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| API keys | Disable, enable, delete, or restrict a key to models | Yes | Yes | No |
| Quota | Change team and per-key spending limits | Yes | Yes | No |
| Billing | Top up, redeem a code, verify a card | Yes | No | No |
| Billing | View balance and payment history | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Settings | Change team settings such as the low-balance alert | Yes | Yes | No |
| Members | Invite, remove, and change roles (Standard teams) | Yes | Yes | No |
| Members | Assign or remove the Owner role | Yes | No | No |
Members#
Manage members on the console Settings page.
Invite#
In a Standard team, Owners and Admins enter an email under Invite Members and click Send Invite. The invitee gets an email link; if they do not have an account yet, the link takes them through sign-up. Pending invitations are listed under Pending Invitations and can be canceled there.
Change a role#
Use the role menu next to a member. Owners can assign Owner, Admin, or Member. Admins can move other Admins and Members between Admin and Member but cannot touch the Owner role.
Remove#
Removing a member revokes their console access immediately. Keys they created keep working because keys belong to the team. If the removal was for cause, rotate those keys.
Low-balance alert#
Under Settings → Preferences, Owners and Admins can set a Low Balance Threshold. The team is alerted when its balance drops below that amount, which gives you time to top up before keys are suspended for lack of balance.
When to use more than one team#
- One company, one team: the simplest setup, one balance and one place to look at usage.
- One team per product or environment, when you want separate balances, limits, and logs.
- One team per end customer, if you resell or embed AI features and need isolated keys, usage, and billing per customer.
