Whether you’re running quick experiments, scaling a production pipeline, or sharing the playground with non-technical colleagues, clear access control keeps everyone focused on the work. In the next section, you’ll see three simple ways to add users, assign roles, and tighten permissions without slowing the team down. Follow whichever path matches your setup and walk away confident that your API keys stay safe. ## Use OpenAI's UI In this guide, you’ll invite teammates through OpenAI’s member management screen. ### Step 1: Sign in and pick the right workspace - Log in at platform.openai.com. - If you belong to more than one organization, choose the one that needs the new user from the dropdown near your name. ### Step 2: Open Settings - Look at the left sidebar. - Click Settings. A new panel appears. ### Step 3: Switch to the Members tab - In the Settings panel, find and click Members. - You’ll land on a list of everyone who already has access. ### Step 4: Start an invitation - Tap the Invite members button in the upper-right corner. - A small window slides out asking for details. ### Step 5: Enter email addresses - Type one or more work email addresses. - Separate several addresses with commas. - Personal domains such as gmail.com may be blocked if your org enforces business email rules. ### Step 6: Choose a role - Owner: full control, including billing and key management. - Admin: manage members and settings, but can’t delete the org. - Member: create projects and keys, no admin rights. Pick the lowest level that still lets the new user do their job. You can always upgrade later. ### Step 7: Send the invites - Review the list and role. - Click Send invites. - Each person receives an email with a Join link that expires after seven days. ### Step 8: Check or cancel pending invites - Still in the Members tab, scroll to Pending invitations. - You’ll see status for each email. - Click the three-dot menu next to an invite if you need to resend or cancel it. After you’ve sent the invites, your job is finished for today. Once the user accepts, their name moves from Pending to Active, and they can begin working under your org’s usage limits and billing rules. ## Use Torii Instead of jumping straight into the OpenAI dashboard, you can use Torii [https://www.toriihq.com/], a SaaS management platform, to invite users to OpenAI.

Create a Torii workflow for OpenAI Inside Torii, build an automated workflow to invite users to OpenAI. Navigate to the Workflows tab, define the trigger, then add the action that invites users to OpenAI. After this, each time the trigger is met, your OpenAI tenant will update automatically. ## Use OpenAI's API The steps below show how to add a teammate to your OpenAI org with the API. ### 1. Grab your organization ID Run a quick call to list the orgs tied to your key. This lets you confirm which account the token can touch before you fire off any write requests. Copy the "id" value for the org you want, because every invite request needs that identifier in the path. ### 2. Draft the invite payload Create a small JSON object. It only needs the new user's email address and the role you want them to play in the workspace. Save it as invite.json or keep it inline if you prefer. Storing it in a file makes the curl command shorter and reduces quoting headaches down the road. ### 3. Send the invite request Replace org-abc123 with your real org ID. Everything else in the sample command can stay as shown unless your network requires a proxy flag or custom headers. On success, the API responds with a JSON object very similar to the one shown below: ### 4. Check pending invites To confirm the invite is still waiting to be accepted, list all pending requests with a simple GET call: You’ll see a list that includes the "invite-456def" entry until the user clicks their email link. ### 5. (Optional) Cancel an invite If you need to pull back the invitation, send a DELETE request with the invite ID in the path: The API returns a simple confirmation object. Expect an empty JSON body with a 200 status code so you know the invite was removed. ## Torii for SaaS Management If your team wants a deeper look at SaaS management, we’re here to help.
