This analysis describes what OpenAI's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This framework establishes a hierarchical permission structure in which OpenAI grants operators discretion over content policy enforcement within their deployments, enabling customization of the service's output guardrails according to organizational requirements while maintaining upper-level constraints on the scope of permitted modifications.
Users operating under an operator's ChatGPT deployment will experience content policies and behavioral settings determined by that operator's configuration choices, which may differ from OpenAI's default settings. The specific content generation capabilities and restrictions available to individual users depend on permissions their operator has elected to delegate to them.

"Operators can expand ChatGPT's defaults for users, such as allowing ChatGPT to produce adult-only content that it wouldn't produce by default. Operators can restrict ChatGPT's defaults for users, such as preventing ChatGPT from producing content that isn't related to their core use case. Operators can grant users the ability to expand or change ChatGPT's behaviors in ways that go up to but don't exceed their own operator permissions.— Excerpt from OpenAI's Usage Policies
