About this lesson
Why a model can be missing, and how admins choose the models: the organization's list and its switches and filters, a project that can only narrow it, the Model Hub for new models, and your own provider keys under External Keys. The models and settings in this lesson are as of November 2026.

- Every plan runs every model; on Enterprise, a model shows only if the organization list and the project list both allow it.
- Build an approved list in Organization > Models, and narrow it per project.
- Run supported providers on your own API keys, under External Keys.
Step by step in the web app (9 steps)Hide the steps
Check the picker's filters first
In the Model panel, click the filter icon next to Search by keyword: Input type on Any input, the budget and speed filters clear. The tabs under the search (ALL, image, video, audio, 3D) filter by output too.
Open the organization's model list
Pill › the gear next to the organization › Models. It holds Project overrides, two switches, and the list with Disable All Models, Enable All Models, Search, filters and an Active switch per model.
Decide what happens to new models
Automatically enable new models makes a new model ready at launch; turn it off if every model must be reviewed. Display disabled models (admins only) keeps disabled models visible to admins.
Filter the list to fit your policy
Filter by Privacy, Category, Capabilities, Providers, Sub Processors, Maintainers, Data Processing, Enterprise Status or Tags. Most security reviews start from Enterprise Status › Ready.
Build an approved list
Click Disable All Models, then switch on only the models you allow in the Active column. With a filter on, the list shows only the matching models; clear it with its x.
Narrow the list for one project
Project › Models can turn off more models, never turn on one the organization blocked; each shows Inherited until changed. A good pattern: a wider organization list, approved models only in production, and a sandbox for new ones.
Add your own provider keys
Organization › External Keys, pick a provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, GCP, xAI, Bytedance, Tencent, Tripo AI or ElevenLabs), Add Credentials, paste the key in API Key and click Save credentials. Make sure it has generation permissions.
Know who bills what
Your provider bills each generation on your key; Scenario still charges the fees on the Minimum Post-Processing Fees card. Your keys don't cover training, workflows, storage or Scenario's own models.
Give a project its own key
Project › External Keys (or Go to Project View from the organization page) takes a key that wins over the organization's. Until you add one, the provider shows Inherited.
