Granular Access Control Guide

Getting Started

This guide shows you how to create API keys with more granular access control. Let's say you want to create API keys that limit the user to only OpenAI chat completion endpoint with the model gpt-3.5-turbo.

Step 1 - Create a provider

curl -X PUT http://localhost:8001/api/provider-settings \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{
          "provider":"openai",
          "setting": {
             "apikey": "YOUR_OPENAI_KEY"
          },
          "allowedModels": ["gpt-3.5-turbo"]
      }'   

Copy the id from the response.

Step 2 - Create a Bricks API key

Use id from the previous step as settingId to create a key with a rate limit of 2 req/min and a spend limit of 25 cents that is only allowed to use the model gpt-3.5-turbo for chat completion endpoint.

curl -X PUT http://localhost:8001/api/key-management/keys \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{
	      "name": "My Secret Key",
	      "key": "my-secret-key",
	      "tags": ["mykey"],
        "settingIds": ["ID_FROM_STEP_ONE"],
        "rateLimitOverTime": 2,
        "rateLimitUnit": "m",
        "costLimitInUsd": 0.25,
        "allowedPaths": [{
            "path": "/api/providers/openai/v1/chat/completions",
            "method": "POST"
        }]
      }'   

Congratulations you are done!!!

Then, just redirect your requests to us and use OpenAI as you would normally. For example:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8002/api/providers/openai/v1/chat/completions \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer my-secret-key" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{
          "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
          "messages": [
              {
                  "role": "system",
                  "content": "hi"
              }
          ]
      }'

Or if you're using an SDK, you could change its baseURL to point to us. For example:

// OpenAI Node SDK v4
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: "some-secret-key", // key created earlier
  baseURL: "http://localhost:8002/api/providers/openai/v1", // redirect to us
});

Trying to access a different path will result in 403.

curl -X POST http://localhost:8002/api/providers/openai/v1/embeddings \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer my-secret-key" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{
        "input": "The food was delicious and the waiter...",
        "model": "text-embedding-ada-002",
        "encoding_format": "float"
    }'

{
    "error": {
        "code": 403,
        "message": "[BricksLLM] path is not allowed",
        "type": ""
    }
}

Trying to access a different model will also result in 403.

curl -X POST http://localhost:8002/api/providers/openai/v1/chat/completions \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer my-secret-key" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{
          "model": "gpt-4",
          "messages": [
              {
                  "role": "system",
                  "content": "hi"
              }
          ]
      }'

{
    "error": {
        "code": 403,
        "message": "[BricksLLM] model is not allowed",
        "type": ""
    }
}
