What OpenAI roles, groups, data retention and project permissions (BYOK) is for

OpenAI roles, groups, data retention and project permissions (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own OpenAI Admin Access data through the OpenAI Admin Access API with a key you supply (OpenAI Admin API key). Read-only: 10 tools (list_roles, get_role, list_groups, list_group_roles, get_org_data_retention, get_project_data_retention, get_project_model_permissions, get_project_hosted_tool_permissions, list_project_roles, list_project_groups). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.openai.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by OpenAI Admin Access. OpenAI Admin Access and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "What roles and permissions exist in my OpenAI organization?"
• "Which permissions does a given OpenAI role grant?"
• "Which groups exist in my OpenAI organization?"
• "What roles does an OpenAI group have?"
• "What data retention setting does my OpenAI organization use?"
• "What data retention setting does my OpenAI project use?"

What it does

• list_roles: List the roles defined for the organization (predefined and custom) with the permissions each grants and the resource type it applies to. Needs an Admin API key.
• get_role: Get one organization role by id with its permissions and description. Needs an Admin API key.
• list_groups: List the organization's groups with type, creation time and whether each is managed by SCIM. Needs an Admin API key.
• list_group_roles: List the roles assigned to one group with their permissions. Needs an Admin API key.
• get_org_data_retention: Show the organization's configured data retention type (for example zero data retention). Needs an Admin API key.
• get_project_data_retention: Show a project's data retention type, or that it follows the organization default. Needs an Admin API key.
• get_project_model_permissions: Show whether a project uses a model allowlist or denylist and which model ids it names. Needs an Admin API key.
• get_project_hosted_tool_permissions: Show which hosted tools (code interpreter, file search, image generation, MCP, web search) are enabled for a project. Needs an Admin API key.
• list_project_roles: List the roles available in a project with their permissions. Needs an Admin API key.
• list_project_groups: List the groups that have access to a project. Needs an Admin API key.

BYOK key

You bring your own OpenAI Admin Access OpenAI Admin API key (https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/admin-keys). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to api.openai.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

• https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/master/api.md (the API this connector calls, with a BYOK key)

What it is not

OpenAI roles, groups, data retention and project permissions (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What OpenAI roles, groups, data retention and project permissions (BYOK) is. OpenAI roles, groups, data retention and project permissions (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own OpenAI Admin Access data: Read your OpenAI organization's roles, groups, data retention settings and per-project model, tool, role and group permissions with your own Admin API key. You bring your own OpenAI Admin Access OpenAI Admin API key; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one OpenAI Admin Access call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to api.openai.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If OpenAI Admin Access rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What OpenAI Admin Access receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under OpenAI Admin Access's own terms and privacy policy. OpenAI Admin Access acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer OpenAI Admin Access gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your OpenAI Admin Access data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. OpenAI Admin Access (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at OpenAI Admin Access at any time to end all access.

Children. OpenAI roles, groups, data retention and project permissions (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under OpenAI Admin Access's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
