OpenAI Launches Admin Plugin for ChatGPT Work and Codex

Centralizing admin tasks inside ChatGPT reduces tool switching, speeds approvals, automates routine workflows, preserves existing permission controls, and consolidates analytics.

Overview

  • OpenAI released the Admin plugin on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, and made it available in the ChatGPT Plugins directory for ChatGPT Work and Codex.
  • The plugin lets workspace admins use natural-language chat to manage members and groups, change permissions, and handle onboarding and offboarding.
  • Admins can run usage and credit analyses, request charts and reports, and export or share findings directly from conversations to collaboration tools like Slack.
  • OpenAI demonstrated the end-to-end flow with Aarti Bagul approving usage requests, generating charts, and having ChatGPT build and post a presentation to Slack during the demo.
  • Designed to work inside existing account controls, the plugin aims to automate recurring admin tasks and help IT teams scale AI adoption by centralizing monitoring, spending limits, and audit-ready reporting.
