Control exactly who uses your agents and how
Control exactly who uses your agents and how
Create user tiers, set usage budgets, restrict access to specific groups, and define what happens when limits are reached — all without code.
Public Access Groups
Control how anonymous users interact with your agents. Set usage limits, configure post-limit behavior, and connect agents to specific portals — all without requiring login.
Give the right people the right access
Whether you need a simple login wall, tiered pricing for different customer segments, or invite-only access for a private team — Pickaxe access groups handle it all from one settings page.
Public and member access groups
Public groups let anyone use your agent with optional limits. Member groups require authentication and give you per-user control over budgets and permissions.
Per-user usage budgets
Set exactly how many queries each user gets per day, week, or month. When they hit the limit, show an upgrade prompt or cut access.
Upgrade paths that convert
Define what happens when users reach their limit. Show a custom message, redirect to a payment page, or prompt them to join a higher tier.
Works everywhere you deploy
Access groups apply across all deployment channels — direct links, embeds, portals, Slack, WhatsApp, email, and API.

Frequently Asked Questions
Access control for AI agents determines who can use your tools, how much they can use them, and what happens when they reach their limits. Without it, you have no way to manage costs, segment users, or create paid tiers.
Pickaxe provides two types of access groups: public and member. Public groups let anyone use your agent with optional usage limits and upgrade prompts. Member groups require users to authenticate, giving you per-user control over budgets, permissions, and billing.
Common setups include free tiers that require login (capturing user contact info), tiered pricing with increasing usage limits, invite-only access for internal teams, and public access with upgrade prompts for lead generation.
Access groups work across every deployment channel. Whether your agent runs on a website embed, Slack bot, WhatsApp, email, portal, or API — the same access rules apply. Users authenticate once and their limits follow them everywhere.
