Admin plugin for ChatGPT Work and Codex

We’re introducing the Admin plugin for Chat GPT Work and Codex—a faster, easier way to analyze workspace information, update settings, and act on requests. In one conversation, admins can ask a question, explore the details, make an authorized change, and confirm the result—without writing complex prompts or switching between tools. Managing a growing workspace often means moving between analytics, settings, and reports to understand issues and take action. This makes routine admin work slower and harder to complete consistently. By bringing admin analytics and supported actions together, the Admin plugin helps teams keep growing workspaces secure, productive, and within budget.

With the Admin plugin, admins can complete day-to-day tasks directly from Chat GPT Work and Codex, including understanding adoption and usage, managing members and groups, managing access and permissions, and managing usage limits and spending requests. Admins can also automate recurring admin workflows, such as routing pending usage requests to Slack or Microsoft Teams for approval, and monitoring feature-access requests with automatic granting when criteria are met, while routing exceptions for review.

The plugin works within each user’s existing role and permissions; it does not grant broader access. It maps admin instructions to appropriate supported read or write actions and returns structured results, honoring workspace policies and approval requirements. For each change, admins can see what they requested, whether the action completed, and what changed.

At Open AI, the Admin plugin changes the first step of workspace administration for the IT team. As Kunal Malik, Head of Global IT, Open AI, notes, “The value is far beyond faster reporting. The Admin plugin connects the question to the next supported action, while preserving the same permissions and controls we already use.”
