Understand xAI teams, roles, and domain auto-join

On xAI, a team is the unit that tracks API usage, billing, and invoices. New accounts start on a Personal Team you can see in the top bar of the xAI Console.

Roles

  • Admin: can change the team name, billing details, and members.
  • Member: cannot change those settings.
  • The person who created the team is an Admin automatically.

Create, rename, and members

  1. In the Console dropdown, choose + Create Team and finish the prompts. Edit details later on Settings.
  2. Admins rename or describe the team on the Settings page.
  3. Admins add or remove people by email on the Users page and set Admin or Member.
  4. If someone is removed, their API keys stay with the team.

If one team is enough, rename the Personal Team and add members there.

Domain auto-join

Admins can auto-add people whose email matches a verified company domain:

  1. Open team Settings.
  2. Add the domain under Verified Domains.
  3. Put a domain-verification key in that domain’s DNS TXT record so ownership checks pass.

Anyone who signs up with an email on a verified domain joins that team automatically.

Delete a team

Deleting a team removes its prepaid credits. Admins start that flow on the Settings page under Delete Team. Confirm you mean to wipe credits before you finish.

Pitfalls

  • Consumer SuperGrok on grok.com is separate from Console team API billing. Check which product the invoice names.
  • Domain join only fires for emails on a verified domain after DNS is correct.
  • Removing a user does not delete their keys from the team — rotate keys if that person should lose access.
