What is the issue?
Currently the Codex documentation only states to export the OPENAI_API_KEY variable to use it with API key. It doesn't say anything if the key could be restricted (for example Read-Only).
If Codex requires specific set of permissions, perhaps you should add an option to create api key with type codex so you could manage internally what permissions codex need and keep it simple for people.
Where did you find it?
