Application-Level RBAC
# Implement your own RBAC on top of Anthropic Workspaces
from enum import Enum
import anthropic
class UserRole(Enum):
VIEWER = "viewer" # Can read Claude responses (no direct API)
USER = "user" # Can send prompts (rate limited)
POWER_USER = "power" # Can use Opus, higher limits
ADMIN = "admin" # Can access all models, no limits

Key Management Best Practices
| Practice |
Implementation |
| One key per service |
prod-auth-service, prod-search-service |
| Rotate quarterly |
Calendar reminder + automated rotation |
| Least privilege |
Dev workspace for dev keys only |
| Audit trail |
Log which key made each request |
| Revoke immediately |
On employee departure or compromise |
Error Handling
| Issue |
Cause |
Fix |
| Key works in dev, fails in prod |
Wrong workspace key |
Verify key belongs to prod workspace |
| New team member can't access |
Not added to workspace |
Invite via Console > Members |
| Usage not visible |
Viewing wrong workspace |
Switch workspace in Console |
