The Scrut - OpenAI integration fetches user access data, permissions, and role assignments from your OpenAI account and syncs them with the Access Review module. This integration enables your organization to maintain comprehensive visibility over user access rights and streamline periodic access reviews for compliance and security.
Heads Up!
The data synced from OpenAI flows into the People → Access module in Scrut.
Prerequisites
Before starting the integration, ensure you have the following credentials:
You must be a Scrut Admin (or Contributor with access to the Integrations module)
You must have permissions to generate an API key in OpenAI
Important:
You must have set up billing for your OpenAI account to use the API key. API keys generated without billing will fail.
