~~19## Local vs. cloud setup~~23## Pre-requisites: Determine owners and rollout strategy

20 24

~~21Codex operates in two environments: local and cloud.~~25During your rollout, team members may support different aspects of integrating Codex into your organization. Ensure you have the following owners:

22 26

~~231. Local use includes the Codex app, CLI, and IDE extension. The agent runs on the developer’s computer in a sandbox.~~27- **ChatGPT Enterprise workspace owner:** required to configure Codex settings in your workspace.

242. Use in the cloud includes Codex cloud, iOS, Code Review, and tasks created by the [Slack integration](https://developers.openai.com/codex/integrations/slack). The agent runs remotely in a hosted container with your codebase.28- **Security owner:** determines agent permissions settings for Codex.

29- **Analytics owner:** integrates analytics and compliance APIs into your data pipelines.

25 30

~~26Use separate permissions and role-based access control (RBAC) to control access to local and cloud features. You can enable local, cloud, or both for all users or for specific groups.~~31Decide which Codex surfaces you will use:

27 32

~~28## Codex local setup~~33- **Codex local:** includes the Codex app, CLI, and IDE extension. The agent runs on the developer's computer in a sandbox.

34- **Codex cloud:** includes hosted Codex features (including Codex cloud, iOS, Code Review, and tasks created by the [Slack integration](https://developers.openai.com/codex/integrations/slack) or [Linear integration](https://developers.openai.com/codex/integrations/linear)). The agent runs remotely in a hosted container with your codebase.

35- **Both:** use local + cloud together.

29 36

~~30### Enable Codex app, CLI, and IDE extension in workspace settings~~37You can enable local, cloud, or both, and control access with workspace settings and role-based access control (RBAC).

31 38

32To enable Codex locally for workspace members, go to [Workspace Settings > Settings and Permissions](https://chatgpt.com/admin/settings). Turn on **Allow members to use Codex Local**. This setting doesn’t require the GitHub connector.39## Step 1: Enable Codex in your workspace

33 40

34After you turn this on, users can sign in to use the Codex app, CLI, and IDE extension with their ChatGPT account. If you turn off this setting, users who attempt to use the Codex app, CLI, or IDE will see the following error: “403 - Unauthorized. Contact your ChatGPT administrator for access.”41You configure access to Codex in ChatGPT Enterprise workspace settings.

35 42

~~36## Team Config~~43Go to [Workspace Settings > Settings and Permissions](https://chatgpt.com/admin/settings).

37 44

~~38Teams who want to standardize Codex across an organization can use Team Config to share defaults, rules, and skills without duplicating setup on every local configuration.~~45### Codex local

~~44| [Skills](https://developers.openai.com/codex/skills) | `skills/` | Make shared skills available to your team. |~~

45 50

~~46For locations and precedence, see [Config basics](https://developers.openai.com/codex/config-basic#configuration-precedence).~~51Turn on **Allow members to use Codex Local**.

53This enables use of the Codex app, CLI, and IDE extension for allowed users.

55If this toggle is off, users who attempt to use the Codex app, CLI, or IDE will see the following error: “403 - Unauthorized. Contact your ChatGPT administrator for access.”

57#### Enable device code authentication for Codex CLI

59Allow developers to sign in with a device code when using Codex CLI in a non-interactive environment (for example, a remote development box). More details are in [authentication](https://developers.openai.com/codex/auth/).

~~62To enable Codex cloud for your workspace, turn on **Allow members to use Codex cloud**.~~77To enable Codex cloud for your workspace, turn on **Allow members to use Codex cloud**. Once enabled, users can access Codex directly from the left-hand navigation panel in ChatGPT.

79Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for Codex to appear in ChatGPT.

81#### Enable Codex Slack app to post answers on task completion

83Codex posts its full answer back to Slack when the task completes. Otherwise, Codex posts only a link to the task.

85To learn more, see [Codex in Slack](https://developers.openai.com/codex/integrations/slack).

87#### Enable Codex agent to access the internet

89By default, Codex cloud agents have no internet access during runtime to help protect against security and safety risks like prompt injection.

91This setting lets users use an allowlist for common software dependency domains, add domains and trusted sites, and specify allowed HTTP methods.

63 92

~~64Once enabled, users can access Codex directly from the left-hand navigation panel in ChatGPT.~~93For security implications of internet access and runtime controls, see [Agent approvals & security](https://developers.openai.com/codex/agent-approvals-security).

~~69to 10 minutes for Codex to appear in ChatGPT.~~

70 98

~~71### Configure the GitHub Connector IP allow list~~99Use RBAC to control granular permissions for access Codex local and Codex cloud.

72 100

~~73To control which IP addresses can connect to your ChatGPT GitHub connector, configure these IP ranges:~~101![Codex cloud toggle](/images/codex/enterprise/rbac_custom_roles.png)

74 102

~~75- [ChatGPT egress IP ranges](https://openai.com/chatgpt-actions.json)~~103### What RBAC lets you do

~~76- [Codex container egress IP ranges](https://openai.com/chatgpt-agents.json)~~

77 104

~~78These IP ranges can change. Consider checking them automatically and updating your allow list based on the latest values.~~105Workspace Owners can use RBAC in ChatGPT admin settings to:

79 106

~~80### Allow members to administer Codex~~107- Set a default role for users who aren't assigned any custom role

108- Create custom roles with granular permissions

109- Assign one or more custom roles to Groups

110- Automatically sync users into Groups via SCIM

111- Manage roles centrally from the Custom Roles tab

81 112

~~82This toggle allows users to view Codex workspace analytics and manage environments (edit and delete).~~113Users can inherit more than one role, and permissions resolve to the most permissive (least restrictive) access across those roles.

83 114

~~84Codex supports role-based access (see [Role-based access (RBAC)](#role-based-access-rbac)), so you can turn on this toggle for a specific subset of users.~~115### Create a Codex Admin group

85 116

~~86### Enable Codex Slack app to post answers on task completion~~117Set up a dedicated "Codex Admin" group rather than granting Codex administration to a broad audience.

87 118

~~88Codex integrates with Slack. When a user mentions `@Codex` in Slack, Codex starts a cloud task, gets context from the Slack thread, and responds with a link to a PR to review in the thread.~~119The **Allow members to administer Codex** toggle grants the Codex Admin role. Codex Admins can:

89 120

90To allow the Slack app to post answers on task completion, turn on **Allow Codex Slack app to post answers on task completion**. When enabled, Codex posts its full answer back to Slack when the task completes. Otherwise, Codex posts only a link to the task.121- View Codex [workspace analytics](https://chatgpt.com/codex/settings/analytics)

122- Open the Codex [Policies page](https://chatgpt.com/codex/settings/policies) to manage cloud-managed `requirements.toml` policies

123- Assign those managed policies to user groups or configure a default fallback policy

124- Manage Codex cloud environments, including editing and deleting environments

91 125

~~92To learn more, see [Codex in Slack](https://developers.openai.com/codex/integrations/slack).~~126Use this role for the small set of admins who own Codex rollout, policy management, and governance. It's not required for general Codex users. You don't need Codex cloud to enable this toggle.

93 127

~~94### Enable Codex agent to access the internet~~128Recommended rollout pattern:

95 129

~~96By default, Codex cloud agents have no internet access during runtime to help protect against security and safety risks like prompt injection.~~130- Create a "Codex Users" group for people who should use Codex

131- Create a separate "Codex Admin" group for the smaller set of people who should manage Codex settings and policies

132- Assign the custom role with **Allow members to administer Codex** enabled only to the "Codex Admin" group

133- Keep membership in the "Codex Admin" group limited to workspace owners or designated platform, IT, and governance operators

134- If you use SCIM, back the "Codex Admin" group with your identity provider so membership changes are auditable and centrally managed

135

136This separation makes it easier to roll out Codex while keeping analytics, environment management, and policy deployment limited to trusted admins. For RBAC setup details and the full permission model, see the [OpenAI RBAC Help Center article](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11750701-rbac).

137

138## Step 3: Configure Codex local requirements

139

140Codex Admins can deploy admin-enforced `requirements.toml` policies from the Codex [Policies page](https://chatgpt.com/codex/settings/policies).

141

142Use this page when you want to apply different local Codex constraints to different groups without distributing device-level files first. The managed policy uses the same `requirements.toml` format described in [Managed configuration](https://developers.openai.com/codex/enterprise/managed-configuration), so you can define allowed approval policies, sandbox modes, web search behavior, MCP server allowlists, feature pins, and restrictive command rules.

143

144![Codex policies and configurations page](/images/codex/enterprise/policies_and_configurations_page.png)

145

146Recommended setup:

147

1481. Create a baseline policy for most users, then create stricter or more permissive variants only where needed.

1492. Assign each managed policy to a specific user group, and configure a default fallback policy for everyone else.

1503. Order group rules with care. If a user matches more than one group-specific rule, the first matching rule applies.

1514. Treat each policy as a complete profile for that group. Codex doesn't fill missing fields from later matching group rules.

152

153These cloud-managed policies apply across Codex local surfaces when users sign in with ChatGPT, including the Codex app, CLI, and IDE extension.

154

155### Example requirements.toml policies

156

157Use cloud-managed `requirements.toml` policies to enforce the guardrails you want for each group. The snippets below are examples you can adapt, not required settings.

158

159![Example managed requirements policy](/images/codex/enterprise/example_policy.png)

160

161Example: limit web search, sandbox mode, and approvals for a standard local rollout:

162

163```toml

164allowed_web_search_modes = ["disabled", "cached"]

165allowed_sandbox_modes = ["workspace-write"]

166allowed_approval_policies = ["on-request"]

167```

168

169Example: add a restrictive command rule when you want admins to block or gate specific commands:

170

171```toml

172[rules]

173prefix_rules = [

174 { pattern = [{ token = "git" }, { any_of = ["push", "commit"] }], decision = "prompt", justification = "Require review before mutating remote history." },

175]

176```

177

178You can use either example on its own or combine them in a single managed policy for a group. For exact keys, precedence, and more examples, see [Managed configuration](https://developers.openai.com/codex/enterprise/managed-configuration) and [Agent approvals & security](https://developers.openai.com/codex/agent-approvals-security).

179

180### Checking user policies

181

182Use the policy lookup tools at the end of the workflow to confirm which managed policy applies to a user. You can check policy assignment by group or by entering a user email.

183

184![Policy lookup by group or user email](/images/codex/enterprise/policy_lookup.png)

185

186If you plan to restrict login method or workspace for local clients, see the admin-managed authentication restrictions in [Authentication](https://developers.openai.com/codex/auth).

187

188## Step 4: Standardize local configuration with Team Config

189

190Teams who want to standardize Codex across an organization can use Team Config to share defaults, rules, and skills without duplicating setup on every local configuration.

191

192You can check Team Config settings into the repository under the `.codex` directory. Codex automatically picks up Team Config settings when a user opens that repository.

193

194Start with Team Config for your highest-traffic repositories so teams get consistent behavior in the places they use Codex most.

195

196| Type | Path | Use it to |

197| ------------------------------------ | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

198| [Config basics](https://developers.openai.com/codex/config-basic) | `config.toml` | Set defaults for sandbox mode, approvals, model, reasoning effort, and more. |

199| [Rules](https://developers.openai.com/codex/rules) | `rules/` | Control which commands Codex can run outside the sandbox. |

200| [Skills](https://developers.openai.com/codex/skills) | `skills/` | Make shared skills available to your team. |

201

202For locations and precedence, see [Config basics](https://developers.openai.com/codex/config-basic#configuration-precedence).

203

204## Step 5: Configure Codex cloud usage (if enabled)

97 205

~~98As an admin, you can allow users to enable agent internet access in their environments. To enable it, turn on **Allow Codex agent to access the internet**.~~206This step covers repository and environment setup after you enable the Codex cloud workspace toggle.

99 207

100When this setting is on, users can use an allow list for common software dependency domains, add more domains and trusted sites, and specify allowed HTTP methods.208### Connect Codex cloud to repositories

209

2101. Navigate to [Codex](https://chatgpt.com/codex) and select **Get started**

2112. Select **Connect to GitHub** to install the ChatGPT GitHub Connector if you haven't already connected GitHub to ChatGPT

2123. Install or connect the ChatGPT GitHub Connector

2134. Choose an installation target for the ChatGPT Connector (typically your main organization)

2145. Allow the repositories you want to connect to Codex

215

216For GitHub Enterprise Managed Users (EMU), an organization owner must install

217 the Codex GitHub App for the organization before users can connect

218 repositories in Codex cloud.

219

220For more, see [Cloud environments](https://developers.openai.com/codex/cloud/environments).

221

222Codex uses short-lived, least-privilege GitHub App installation tokens for each operation and respects the user's existing GitHub repository permissions and branch protection rules.

223

224### Configure IP addresses

225

226If your GitHub organization controls the IP addresses that apps use to connect, make sure to include these [egress IP ranges](https://openai.com/chatgpt-agents.json).

227

228These IP ranges can change. Consider checking them automatically and updating your allow list based on the latest values.

101 229

102### Enable code review with Codex cloud230### Enable code review with Codex cloud

103 231

104To allow Codex to do code reviews, go to [Settings → Code review](https://chatgpt.com/codex/settings/code-review).232To allow Codex to perform code reviews on GitHub, go to [Settings → Code review](https://chatgpt.com/codex/settings/code-review).

233

234You can configure code review at the repository level. Users can also enable auto review for their PRs and choose when Codex automatically triggers a review. More details are on the [GitHub integration page](https://developers.openai.com/codex/integrations/github).

235

236Use the overview page to confirm your workspace has code review turned on and to see the available review controls.

237

238![Code review settings overview](/images/codex/enterprise/code_review_settings_overview.png)

239

240 Use the auto review settings to decide whether Codex should review pull

241 requests automatically for connected repositories.

242

243![Automatic code review settings](/images/codex/enterprise/auto_code_review_settings.png)

244

245 Use review triggers to control which pull request events should start a

246 Codex review.

247

248![Code review trigger settings](/images/codex/enterprise/review_triggers.png)

249

250### Configure Codex security

251

252Codex Security helps engineering and security teams find, confirm, and remediate likely vulnerabilities in connected GitHub repositories.

253

254At a high level, Codex Security:

255

256- scans connected repositories commit by commit

257- ranks likely findings and confirms them when possible

258- shows structured findings with evidence, criticality, and suggested remediation

259- lets teams refine a repository threat model to improve prioritization and review quality

260

261For setup, scan creation, findings review, and threat model guidance, see [Codex Security setup](https://developers.openai.com/codex/security/setup). For a product overview, see [Codex Security](https://developers.openai.com/codex/security).

262

263Integration docs are also available for [Slack](https://developers.openai.com/codex/integrations/slack), [GitHub](https://developers.openai.com/codex/integrations/github), and [Linear](https://developers.openai.com/codex/integrations/linear).

264

265## Step 6: Set up governance and observability

266

267Codex gives enterprise teams options for visibility into adoption and impact. Set up governance early so your team can track adoption, investigate issues, and support compliance workflows.

268

269### Codex governance typically uses

270

271- Analytics Dashboard for quick, self-serve visibility

272- Analytics API for programmatic reporting and business intelligence integration

273- Compliance API for audit and investigation workflows

274

275### Recommended baseline setup

276

277- Assign an owner for adoption reporting

278- Assign an owner for audit and compliance review

279- Define a review cadence

280- Decide what success looks like

281

282### Analytics API setup steps

283

284To set up the Analytics API key:

285

2861. Sign in to the [OpenAI API Platform Portal](https://platform.openai.com) as an owner or admin, and select the correct organization.

2872. Go to the [API keys page](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys).

2883. Create a new secret key dedicated to Codex Analytics, and give it a descriptive name such as Codex Analytics API.

2894. Select the appropriate project for your organization. If you only have one project, the default project is fine.

2905. Set the key permissions to Read only, since this API only retrieves analytics data.

2916. Copy the key value and store it securely, because you can only view it once.

2927. Email [support@openai.com](mailto:support@openai.com) to have that key scoped to `codex.enterprise.analytics.read` only. Wait for OpenAI to confirm your API key has Codex Analytics API access.

293

294![Codex analytics key creation](/images/codex/codex_analytics_key.png)

295

296To use the Analytics API key:

297

2981. Find your `workspace_id` in the [ChatGPT Admin console](https://chatgpt.com/admin) under Workspace details.

2992. Call the Analytics API at `https://api.chatgpt.com/v1/analytics/codex` using your Platform API key, and include your `workspace_id` in the path.

3003. Choose the endpoint you want to query:

301

302- /workspaces/`{workspace_id}`/usage

303- /workspaces/`{workspace_id}`/code_reviews

304- /workspaces/`{workspace_id}`/code_review_responses

305

3064. Set a reporting date range with `start_time` and `end_time` if needed.

3075. Retrieve the next page of results with `next_page` if the response spans more than one page.

105 308

106Users can specify whether they want Codex to review their pull requests. Users can also configure whether code review runs for all contributors to a repository.309Example curl command to retrieve workspace usage:

107 310

108Codex supports two types of code reviews:311```bash

312curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PLATFORM_API_KEY" \

313 "https://api.chatgpt.com/v1/analytics/codex/workspaces/WORKSPACE_ID/usage"

314```

109 315

1101. Automatically triggered code reviews when a user opens a PR for review.316For more details on the Analytics API, see [Analytics API](https://developers.openai.com/codex/enterprise/governance#analytics-api).

1112. Reactive code reviews when a user mentions @Codex to look at issues. For example, “@Codex fix this CI error” or “@Codex address that feedback.”

112 317

113## Role-based access (RBAC)318### Compliance API setup steps

114 319

115Codex supports role-based access. RBAC is a security and permissions model used to control access to systems or resources based on a user’s role assignments.320To set up the Compliance API key:

116 321

117To enable RBAC for Codex, navigate to Settings & Permissions → Custom Roles in [ChatGPT’s admin page](https://chatgpt.com/admin/settings) and assign roles to groups created in the Groups tab.3221. Sign in to the [OpenAI API Platform Portal](https://platform.openai.com) as an owner or admin, and select the correct organization.

3232. Go to the [API keys page](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys).

3243. Create a new secret key dedicated to Compliance API and select the appropriate project for your organization. If you only have one project, the default project is fine.

3254. Choose All permissions.

3265. Copy the key value and store it securely, because you can only view it once.

3276. Send an email to [support@openai.com](mailto:support@openai.com) with:

118 328

119This simplifies permission management for Codex and improves security in your ChatGPT workspace. To learn more, see the [Help Center article](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11750701-rbac).329- the last 4 digits of the API key

330- the key name

331- the created-by name

332- the scope needed: `read`, `delete`, or both

120 333

121## Set up your first Codex cloud environment3347. Wait for OpenAI to confirm your API key has Compliance API access.

122 335

1231. Go to Codex cloud and select **Get started**.336To use the Compliance API key:

1242. Select **Connect to GitHub** to install the ChatGPT GitHub Connector if you haven’t already connected GitHub to ChatGPT.

125 - Allow the ChatGPT Connector for your account.

126 - Choose an installation target for the ChatGPT Connector (typically your main organization).

127 - Allow the repositories you want to connect to Codex (a GitHub admin may need to approve this).

1283. Create your first environment by selecting the repository most relevant to your developers, then select **Create environment**.

129 - Add the email addresses of any environment collaborators to give them edit access.

1304. Start a few starter tasks (for example, writing tests, fixing bugs, or exploring code).

131 337

132You have now created your first environment. Users who connect to GitHub can create tasks using this environment. Users who have access to the repository can also push pull requests generated from their tasks.3381. Find your `workspace_id` in the [ChatGPT Admin console](https://chatgpt.com/admin) under Workspace details.

3392. Use the Compliance API at `https://api.chatgpt.com/v1/`

3403. Pass your Compliance API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token.

3414. For Codex-related compliance data, use these endpoints:

133 342

134### Environment management343- /compliance/workspaces/`{workspace_id}`/logs

344- /compliance/workspaces/`{workspace_id}`/logs/`{log_file_id}`

345- /compliance/workspaces/`{workspace_id}`/codex_tasks

346- /compliance/workspaces/`{workspace_id}`/codex_environments
