Why does generating a new API key trigger an 'enforcement_failed' error?

Error with Secret Key Generation

Based on our documentation and security measures, the API does not support issuing secret keys for users automatically. In other words, users must authorize themselves to generate their own keys rather than having one issued on their behalf.

If you’re encountering a persistent error when clicking the “create secret key” button, consider the following:

• Authorization: Verify you are logged in with the correct account and have the necessary permissions to generate a key.
• UI Behavior: Ensure that the interface you’re using is intended for self-service key creation as part of proper user authorization—this is a built-in security feature.
• Refresh/Re-login: Sometimes clearing your session or logging out and back in can resolve temporary issues.
• Support: If the error persists despite verifying authorization, you may need to contact support with details about your account and the error message.

Below is an example of a typical flow for generating a key programmatically (which still requires your self-authorization):

PYTHONCopied
import openai

# Ensure you use your own authorized token
openai.api_key = "your-authorized-api-key"

# Example: Creating a dummy object (note: actual key generation must be done by the user)
response = openai.SomeEndpoint.create(parameter="value")

Remember, the restriction is here for security reasons—to ensure that API keys are only created by users who have explicitly authorized the action.
