As I understand your question, the current name for ChatGPT Team is ChatGPT Business. OpenAI’s docs say ChatGPT Team was renamed to ChatGPT Business on August 29, 2025.
So the “free Team workspace” you remember may have been older UI wording, a trial/rollout state or something account-specific rather than the current public plan name.
The current Business docs describe it as a workspace plan for teams/organizations, with workspace management, members/seats, billing and admin controls.
Thank you for the reminder of the documents. However, I have already gone through these documents. Therefore, the questions I raised are that there is indeed a free workspace plan and there is a workspace, but there is no way to use the permissions of the space.
Ah, I see then I misunderstood the main part of your question. Sorry for that.
If you are seeing an actual free workspace in your account, but cannot manage or use its permissions, that sounds more like an account-specific workspace state or provisioning issue than something the public Business docs can fully explain.
That may need OpenAI Support to check the account/workspace state directly.
First, I want to thank @LarisaHaster for providing valuable feedback.
Another possibility, similar to my setup, is that you have the Codex extension installed in VS Code and are seeing something related to Copilot, for example:
Does this help?
Starting April 22, 2026, new self-serve sign-ups for Copilot Business for organizations on GitHub Free and GitHub Team plans are temporarily paused.
Hey @clown_yanxi, this one sounds account-specific, so it’s probably best to open a support case so the team can look directly at the account details. Once you have the case number, send it over here and I’ll help track it down.
Also appreciate the extra context from @LarisaHaster and @EricGT, that’s helpful for narrowing things down.
