Checks that everyone with OpenAI access is an active employee on the People page.

​
About

When you connect OpenAI to DSALTA, the platform syncs your organization members using read-only API access. On every sync DSALTA compares the users on the OpenAI Access page against your People directory, matched by email within your organization, and activates this check when an OpenAI user is not an active employee on the People page.
DSALTA reads organization members through the OpenAI Organization (Admin) API. If a non-admin key is connected, only the connected account owner is visible, so the email-based match may not resolve automatically. Use the Access list to confirm each OpenAI user is a current, authorized employee.

​
Why This Matters

Access to the organization’s AI platform must be limited to current, authorized employees. Access tends to accumulate over time as roles change, leaving people with more than they need. Excess access to an AI platform that can process sensitive data widens your attack surface and breaks the principle of least privilege. Regularly validating who can reach it is a core control in SOC 2, ISO 27001, and the EU AI Act.

How to Fix

Before you begin
  • Ensure the OpenAI integration is connected with an admin key so DSALTA has the current list of organization members.
Review OpenAI access
  1. In OpenAI, go to Settings → Organization → Members and remove anyone who is not a current employee.
  2. In DSALTA, go to People and confirm each OpenAI user exists and is active.
  3. In Data Library → Access, filter for OpenAI and confirm each user maps to an active employee on the People page.
  4. Mark each reviewed user as In Scope (valid) or Not in Scope (to be revoked), and record the reviewer.
  5. Set a recurring access review schedule (quarterly is recommended).
Once every OpenAI user is an active employee on the People page, DSALTA retrieves the change on the next sync and sets the check status to Passing.

Frequently Asked Questions

This check runs automatically every 24 hours while the OpenAI integration is connected. You can also trigger a manual sync from Integrations in the sidebar.
A failing check appears in your Data Library → Tests dashboard. Work through the steps above; once every OpenAI user maps to an active employee, the status updates automatically on the next sync.
Yes. If it does not apply to your environment, mark it as Not Applicable with a justification. The exclusion is documented for auditors.
No. DSALTA uses read-only API access and never modifies, creates, or deletes resources. All remediation is performed by your team directly in OpenAI.
