Admin keys have elevated privileges. Handle with extra care and never expose them publicly.

​
Generate an Admin API Key

Admin API keys are required for organization and project management actions. Only organization owners and admins can create these keys. They are created from a separate Admin keys page (not the standard API keys page).

1

Verify Admin Permissions

Ensure you have admin or owner role in your organization. You can check this in Organization settings → People (accessible via the bottom-left user menu — the section was previously called “Team”).

2

Access Admin Keys Page

1. Log in to your OpenAI account at https://platform.openai.com
2. Click your profile icon in the bottom-left menu and choose “Organization settings” (or “Profile settings”)
3. Click “Admin keys” in the left sidebar

3

Create Admin API Key

Click the ”+ Create new Admin key” button. The dialog has fields: Name, Expiration, and Permissions (no Project dropdown).

  • The key must be created by an organization admin or owner
  • Enter an optional Name (e.g., “StackOne Admin Integration”)
  • Choose an Expiration (dropdown, default ‘Never’)
  • Select Permissions: ‘All’, ‘Restricted’, or ‘Read only’ — include organization management permissions
  • Click “Create admin key”
4

Save Your Admin API Key

IMPORTANT: Copy the key immediately after creation. It will only be shown once and cannot be retrieved later.

  • Store the key in a secure password manager
  • This key has elevated privileges - handle with extra care
  • Never expose it in client-side code or public repositories
