API Key Permissions UI: “model.request” scope only appears when “Model Capabilities” is set to Request

API
1

I am newbie to use openAI API.

Issue Statement

Since our app only requires language based operation, I only set the permission on those two capabilities.

  1. Responses

  2. Chat completions

However, when I tested the API calling, the requests failed with this error:

upstream error {

    status: 401,
    body: '{\n' +
      '  "error": {\n' +
      `    "message": "You have insufficient permissions for
  this operation. Missing scopes: model.request. Check that you have
  the correct role in your organization (Reader, Writer, Owner) and
  project (Member, Owner), and if you're using a restricted API key,
  that it has the necessary scopes.",\n` +
      '    "type": "invalid_request_error",\n' +
      '    "param": null,\n' +
      '    "code": null\n' +
      '  }\n' +
      '}',
    user_id: '---------------'
  }

What I found

After some experiments, I noticed that ‘model request’ permission is only granted when I set ‘Model Capabilities’ to ‘request’,

I confirmed this by by hovering over ‘selected permissions’ in the UI.

Current work-around

  1. Set ‘Model Capabilities’ option to ‘Request’

  2. Set the other options not required in my project to ‘None’

Suggestions

I believe this UI/UX should be improved to bring more developers into the openAI ecosystem.
