# Introducing the Admin plugin for ChatGPT Work and Codex

The plugin lets administrators inspect workspace analytics, adjust permissions, manage usage limits, and automate recurring approval workflows directly via chat.

- Integrates with Slack and Microsoft Teams to route pending usage and access requests for approval.
- Maps natural language instructions to role-aware read or write actions without granting elevated permissions.
- Allows automated granting of feature access based on predefined criteria while routing exceptions for review.
- Available to install through workspace settings and the Plugins directory in ChatGPT Work web and desktop apps.

## Why it matters

Workspace administrators can manage user permissions, credit limits, and support approvals inside conversational interfaces instead of switching between separate admin console dashboards.
