Set up a team with budget caps
On this page
Give a team its own spending limit by allocating credits down the organization → workspace → project tree. A project can only spend what it was allocated, so the allocation is the cap.
Create a Team organization#
On first sign-in (or from the org switcher), create a Team organization — it can invite members and assign roles, unlike a Personal org. See Set up your organization.
Create a workspace and project#
In Resources, create a workspace to group related work, then a project inside it. Choose the project's allowed models — only those can be called by its keys. See Workspaces & projects.
Allocate the budget (the cap)#
Credits flow down the tree: organization → workspace → project. Allocate a fixed amount to the project — that amount is its ceiling. When it spends more than allocated, the project is flagged In debt until topped up. See How credits work.
Add people with the right role#
Invite teammates and assign Owner / Admin / Member at the workspace or project level, so they can use the budget without being able to move it. See Team & roles.
Watch the spend#
The Usage page shows Allocated versus Consumed at each level, so you can see a project approaching its cap before it runs out. See Tracking spend.
In a team organization, keys spend from the org's allocated credits — not an individual's wallet. Top-ups credit your personal account; allocate from there to the org in Resources. See Top up & wallet.
