Mistral AI Enterprise RBAC

Overview

Control access to Mistral AI models and API resources at the organization level. Mistral uses API key scoping and La Plateforme workspace management to separate environments.

Prerequisites

• Mistral La Plateforme organization account
• Organization admin or owner role
• At least one active API key with admin scope

Instructions

Step 1: Create Scoped API Keys per Team

set -euo pipefail
# Create a key restricted to small models only (cost-safe for junior devs)
curl -X POST https://api.mistral.ai/v1/api-keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MISTRAL_ADMIN_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "name": "dev-team-small-only",
    "allowed_models": ["mistral-small-latest", "codestral-latest"],
    "rate_limit_rpm": 100
  }'

# Create an unrestricted key for the ML team
curl -X POST https://api.mistral.ai/v1/api-keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MISTRAL_ADMIN_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "name": "ml-team-full-access",
    "allowed_models": ["mistral-small-latest", "mistral-large-latest", "mistral-embed"],
    "rate_limit_rpm": 500  # HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
  }'

Step 2: Implement a Gateway That Enforces Roles

// mistral-gateway.ts - Proxy that checks roles before forwarding
const ROLE_MODEL_MAP: Record<string, string[]> = {
  analyst:   ['mistral-small-latest'],
  developer: ['mistral-small-latest', 'codestral-latest', 'mistral-embed'],
  senior:    ['mistral-small-latest', 'mistral-large-latest', 'mistral-embed'],
  admin:     ['*'],
};

function canUseModel(role: string, model: string): boolean {
  const allowed = ROLE_MODEL_MAP[role];
  return allowed?.includes('*') || allowed?.includes(model) || false;
}

Step 3: Set Workspace Spending Limits

Navigate to La Plateforme > Organization > Billing and set monthly budget caps. Configure alerts at 50%, 80%, and 95% thresholds. Each API key can also have independent rate limits to prevent a single integration from consuming the entire budget.

Step 4: Audit API Key Usage

set -euo pipefail
# List all API keys and their last-used timestamps
curl https://api.mistral.ai/v1/api-keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MISTRAL_ADMIN_KEY" | \
  jq '.data[] | {name, created_at, last_used_at, allowed_models}'

# Revoke a compromised key
curl -X DELETE https://api.mistral.ai/v1/api-keys/key_abc123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MISTRAL_ADMIN_KEY"

Step 5: Rotate Keys on Schedule

Automate 90-day key rotation. Create the new key, update consuming services, then delete the old key after a 24-hour overlap window.

Error Handling
