This is a Portkey Enterprise plan feature.

​
Overview

Guardrail Management in Portkey enables organization administrators to control who can view and manage guardrails within workspaces. This helps teams enforce governance while ensuring members only get the level of guardrail access they need.

​
Accessing Guardrail Management

  1. Navigate to Admin Settings in the Portkey dashboard
  2. Select the Security tab from the left sidebar
  3. Locate the Guardrail Management section

​
Permission Settings

The Guardrail Management section provides three permission options:
PermissionDescription
Managers View GuardrailsAllow workspace managers to view guardrails within their workspace
Managers Write GuardrailsAllow workspace managers to create, update, and delete guardrails within their workspace
Members View GuardrailsAllow workspace members to view guardrails within their workspace
Default settings:
  • Managers can view and write guardrails
  • Members can view guardrails
  • Members do not get a Manage Guardrails toggle (shown as N/A in the UI)

​
Workspace-Level Overrides

Guardrail access permissions support workspace-level overrides, allowing you to configure different guardrail access settings per workspace. When workspace-level overrides are enabled for guardrails:
  • Each workspace can have its own membersViewGuardrails, managersViewGuardrails, and managersWriteGuardrails settings
  • Workspace settings take precedence over organization-level settings and inherit organization settings by default
To configure workspace-level overrides:
  1. Enable the Allow workspace-level configuration toggle in the Guardrail Management section under organization Security settings
  2. Navigate to the specific workspace settings to configure per-workspace guardrail access
