OpenAI has added a dedicated admin panel for ChatGPT Business workspaces, giving administrators centralized control over which plugins their organization can discover and use.
What's new
- ▸Centralized management of plugin discovery and visibility
- ▸Policy controls scoped per workspace
- ▸Role-based permissions for who can install or approve plugins
- ▸A single catalog view instead of scattered per-user settings
Why enterprises asked for this
As plugin ecosystems around large chat platforms have grown, IT and security teams have pushed for the same governance controls they already expect from other enterprise software — a gap this update is designed to close.
