> **"The control tower for your company's AI development environment"**

CodePilot Admin is a unified management console that helps your organization run AI development tools **safely and consistently**. It turns the AI that each developer uses in their own way into a **"team asset that meets company standards."**

## Why do you need Admin?

| Problem                                                                                  | How Admin solves it                                   |
| :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Inconsistent quality** — every team uses different models and prompts, so results vary | Ensure consistency by **deploying standard policies** |
| **Security gaps** — individuals connect unvetted external tools without oversight        | **Centrally control the allowed tools and commands**  |
| **Cost management** — no visibility into who uses how much, making costs unpredictable   | Understand costs with **usage monitoring**            |

<Info>
  By bringing **policy management, operational monitoring, and access control** together in one place, CodePilot Admin gives enterprises the foundation to adopt AI organization-wide with confidence.

## Who uses it?

Only users with **administrator privileges** can access the Admin console. Regular members never enter the console; instead, they join from the IDE with an organization API key and have policies applied to them.

| Role       | Permissions                                                                   |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Owner**  | Highest authority in the organization. Assigns admins and transfers ownership |
| **Admin**  | Manages all settings and users                                                |
| **Member** | Writes code and uses AI features (no console access)                          |

## Team default vs. Project

Settings are organized into two levels: **Team default** and **Project**.

* **Team default** — common settings applied across the entire organization
* **Project** — settings that apply only to a specific project; anything not set is inherited from the Team default
