Members & Departments

View as Markdown

For collaborative teams and large organizations, Alephant provides powerful structures to manage access and cost attribution.

Members (Team & Enterprise)

Adding team members allows you to give individuals access to the platform and assigns them their own Virtual Keys.

  • Attribution: Track exactly how much API cost is generated by specific individuals.
  • Roles: Assign different administrative roles (e.g., Admin, Billing Admin, Viewer).
  • Control: Revoke access instantly if a member leaves the team, immediately disabling their Virtual Key.

Departments (Enterprise Only)

The Enterprise plan unlocks the ability to group Members and Agents into Departments.

  • Department Budgets: Set a strict budget for the Engineering or Marketing department. Once reached, requests can be automatically paused or throttled.
  • Policy Overrides: Apply department-specific rules. For example, you can restrict the Marketing department to only use GPT-3.5 while allowing Engineering access to GPT-4.
  • Analytics: View cross-department usage comparisons to understand which teams are driving AI expenses.
