Model & Provider Access

Model & Provider Access policies allow or deny the model and provider paths each DPanel instance may use.

What Model & Provider Access controls

Control which models and providers are available.

Operators can allow or deny model families, provider paths, or instance-level defaults so an AI team only uses approved model access.

On Pack, DPanel uses managed provider access and keeps model keys out of the instance. On BYOK, customers bring their own provider keys.

In both paths, DPanel can enforce model and provider policy before the model call is allowed to run.

Turn this concept into a visible workflow with teams, approvals, grounding, and handoff.
