Create Vector Store restricted API key permissions bug

API Bugs
1

We are using the responses API with a file search tool and our system, that was working well, has suddenly started throwing 401 errors quoting a missing vector_store.write scope. We use a restricted API key however permissions have not changed within the last month.

I am able to produce a minimal reproduction using CURL.

curl https://api.openai.com/v1/vector_stores \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Support FAQ"
  }'

If I create an API key with permissions ‘All’ and make the request, the request succeeds.

If I create an API key with permissions ‘Restricted’, but every single permission enabled (set to write), the request fails with the following error:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "You have insufficient permissions for this operation. Missing scopes: vector_store.write. 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.",
    "type": "invalid_request_error",
    "param": null,
    "code": null
  }
}

How can it be that this has changed? Is anyone else experiencing this?

We continue with the same bug intermittently 3 days ago. It is unacceptable that this continues to happen. Is there any status or answer as to when it will be resolved? Otherwise we will have to change supplier

We encountered this problem a week ago. I found no info about the problem and no additional permissions in the API key edit dialog. Today I checked again and there here it is: a dedicated permission
Vector Stores: None Read Write
/v1/vector_stores

I changed it to Write and now it works as expected
