  • Teams

    Teams let multiple members create and use their own API keys while spending the owner's balance, subscriptions and group entitlements. The owner sets per-member limits and sees team-wide usage. Go to the team page.

    Roles

    RolePermissions
    OwnerSole payer; manages members, limits and all team keys; sees team-wide usage
    MemberCreates and uses team keys; sees only their own usage and limits

    Rules: an account belongs to at most one team at a time; teams are flat (no sub-teams); there is no separate team wallet — spending hits the owner's account directly.

    Creating a team

    1. Sign in and open the team page.
    2. Enter a team name and create.
    3. The creator automatically becomes the sole owner.
    SCREENSHOTTeam page
    Team page: enter a name to create; the member list, invitations and team-key management appear here afterwards

    Invitations

    • Only the owner can invite, by targeted email (the mail carries a confirmation link).
    • The invitee signs in with the account matching the invited email and accepts via the link.
    • Invitations expire — just resend; only the newest pending invitation per email per team is kept.
    • Common join failures: signed-in email differs from the invited one, expired invitation, already in another team, team full or suspended.

    New members inherit the team's current default member limits on joining.

    Member limits

    Limits come in daily / weekly / monthly tiers to cap individual spending:

    • 0 means unlimited for that tier;
    • They bind regular members only — owners are exempt;
    • They roll over calendar days/weeks/months and reset automatically;
    • Hitting any tier makes the member's team keys reject requests until the cycle resets or the owner raises the limit.

    The owner can set default member limits (affecting future joiners only) and edit individual members separately.

    Team keys

    Create team keys on the API Keys page with the scope switched to Team in the top-right corner:

    • Every member can create team keys; available groups come from the owner's entitlements;
    • Scope is fixed at creation — personal and team keys cannot convert into each other;
    • Members see only their own keys; the owner sees all team keys (masked) and can disable / enable / delete any;
    • A key disabled by the owner cannot be re-enabled by its member.

    Key plaintext is shown once, to the creator only — not even the owner can see it.

    Usage visibility

    • Members see only their own requests on the usage page.
    • Owners see team-wide requests with an extra "member" column and per-member spending summaries for auditing and cost-sharing.
    What the owner's usage view adds
    • The detail table gains a member column showing who made each call;
    • The summary area adds per-member usage and spending charts;
    • Combined with daily / weekly / monthly limits, it is quick to spot members with unusual consumption.

    Membership changes

    ActionWhoEffect
    Remove a memberOwnerAll of that member's team keys are disabled immediately; personal keys untouched
    Leave the teamMemberTheir team keys are disabled immediately
    Transfer ownershipOwnerRequires the other party's confirmation; roles swap on acceptance
    Suspend / resume teamOwnerWhile suspended, all team keys fail authentication
    Dissolve the teamOwnerTeam and all team keys stop immediately; irreversible

    Note: owners cannot simply leave — transfer or dissolve first. Rejoining later does not revive previous team keys; they must be recreated.
