Elimity for OpenAI

Full identity visibility for your OpenAI workspace, including every agent and API identity it holds

Elimity and OpenAI integration banner

OpenAI has quietly become part of your critical stack: workspace members and admins, projects per team, service accounts, API keys wired into pipelines, and assistants that act on internal data. Most identity governance tools stop at the humans and never look inside that structure. Elimity connects to OpenAI and turns it into part of your identity data graph, so every account, key, and agent resolves to an accountable human and every access decision holds up under audit.

Access Challenges in OpenAI

API keys that outlive their purpose

Keys are created for a quick experiment, pasted into a pipeline, and never rotated. They keep working long after the project ended and rarely map back to an accountable owner.

Agents acting on behalf of people

Assistants and agents call tools, read files, and reach into internal systems with permissions of their own. Nobody can say which human is answerable for what an agent can do.

Workspace membership drift

Contractors, vendors, and teams get added to the OpenAI workspace during a project. Owner and admin roles accumulate and are almost never revisited.

Project and service account sprawl

Projects multiply per team and per experiment, each with its own service accounts and credentials. Access spreads across boundaries that no single review covers.

No link to your HR source of truth

When someone changes role or leaves, their workspace membership, the keys they created, and the agents they own don't automatically get flagged for review.

How Elimity helps

  • Discover every OpenAI workspace member, service account, project, API key, and agent identity
  • Correlate OpenAI identities, human and non-human, to your HR source and the rest of your enterprise identity landscape
  • Visualize effective access from projects and service accounts through to the tools and data agents can reach
  • Automate access reviews for admin roles, project membership, and credential ownership on a defined cadence
  • Provide audit-ready evidence for every access decision tied to your OpenAI environment

Key benefits

Unified Visibility

One view of every human and non-human identity in your OpenAI workspace, correlated to the rest of your identity landscape.

Access Risk Detection

Surface stale API keys, unowned service accounts, and excessive admin roles before an auditor or attacker finds them first.

Audit-Ready Evidence

Exportable access review history mapped to the frameworks your organisation is actually held to.

Faster Incident Response

Determine the blast radius of a leaked API key or compromised agent in minutes, not days.

Compliance frameworks supported

EU AI Act

Documented oversight of the identities and agents operating your AI systems, and who is accountable for them.

NIS2

Documented, auditable control over access for every identity type, including non-human and agentic ones.

ISO 27001

Access control and periodic review evidence (Annex A) across workspace members, projects, and credentials.

GDPR

Visibility into which identities and agents can reach personal data through granted permissions.

Works alongside your existing stack

Elimity doesn't replace your IGA or provisioning workflows. SailPoint and Omada were built to manage human joiners, movers, and leavers, not the projects, service accounts, API keys, and agents that accumulate inside an AI platform like OpenAI. Elimity sits alongside your IGA and adds the depth it was never designed to capture, without touching how you already provision access.
