Set up a team

Set up a team in the GPT for Work dashboard so that all team members can use the add-ons with shared billing.

Create your team​

  1. Choose the Microsoft account from which you will create the team by inviting users.

  2. Sign in to the GPT for Work dashboard.

  3. Invite users to join your space:

    1. In the sidebar, click Members.

    2. Click Invite members.

    3. Enter the email addresses of the users you want to invite, separated by commas or spaces.

    4. Click Send invitations.

You have successfully created your team.

Install the add-on​

The installation process depends on your Microsoft tenant settings:

  • User installation: If your Microsoft tenant allows users to install add-ins, each team member can install the GPT for Work add-in independently from the Microsoft AppSource. Users from different organizations (different tenants) can also install from the Microsoft AppSource. Learn more in our installation guide.

  • Admin installation: If the installation of add-ins is restricted to admins, request your admin to install from the Microsoft AppSource.

For more information on the permissions required to install the GPT for Work add-in, see the Security and privacy FAQ.

(Optional) Set up an API key​

GPT for Work can be used without an API key. However, setting up an API key is possible for enhanced privacy, access to more models, and AI provider-side reporting and control.

You can provide a shared API key to all team members, or distribute individual API keys to track each team member's usage directly in the AI provider's dashboard.

  1. Create an API key, or request an API key from your AI provider platform admin. Learn more.

    info

    For OpenAI, ensure that the key belongs to a project where:

    • gpt-4o is enabled

    • RPM limit >= 1 000

    • TPM limit >= 1 000 000

    These limits can be adjusted based on your specific workload requirements.

  2. Provide the API key to your team members so they can set it in GPT for Excel and GPT for Word.

Team members can now use GPT for Excel and GPT for Word. You can monitor token usage and spending in real-time on your AI provider's dashboard.
