Scopes
Every Admin Key capability must be ticked explicitly; anything not ticked is refused.
Admin Keys are deny by default: only endpoints covered by a scope you explicitly ticked can be called. Everything else is refused.
The five scopes
| Scope | What it allows | Ticked by default |
|---|---|---|
account:read | View account profile and balance | Yes |
logs:read | List and analyse call logs, and export them | Yes |
usage:read | Export usage analytics by time, model and other dimensions | Yes |
keys:read | View the API key list and single key details, without plaintext | No |
keys:write | Create, update and delete API keys, still without plaintext | No |
All three default scopes are read-only. Write access must be ticked by hand, and the interface warns you when you do.

Refusal responses
There are two kinds of refusal, and the difference is whether ticking another scope fixes it.
Missing scope
The endpoint is available to Admin Keys, but this key does not have the required scope. Edit the key and tick it.
{
"success": false,
"code": "admin_key_scope_missing",
"message": "The admin key is missing the required scope: keys:read"
}The message names the scope that is missing.
Endpoint not available
This endpoint is not available to Admin Keys at all. No scope will help — sign in to the console instead.
{
"success": false,
"code": "admin_key_scope_forbidden",
"message": "This endpoint is not available to admin keys, sign in to the console instead"
}Admin, agent and supplier endpoints return the same code with wording that says so explicitly.
TIP
Using an Admin Key against /v1/chat/completions returns a dedicated message rather than a vague "invalid token". Seeing it means you reached for the wrong credential type.
