Codex device code authentication is not obviously usable in workspace accounts

What is the type of issue?

Something else

What is the issue?

Now that #2798 is fixed, Codex says:

1. Open this link in your browser and sign in

  https://auth.openai.com/codex/device

Clicking that link and logging in says "Please contact your workspace admin to enable device code authentication".

I _am_ the workspace admin. I looked in the workspace settings. I looked in the workspace admin settings. I looked in your docs: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8411955-what-workspace-settings-can-i-control-for-my-workspace?utm_source=chatgpt.com I asked ChatGPT-5.2. It's really not obvious that a setting exists.

Before #2798, I could at least awkwardly log in using non-device-code auth, but now I appear to be unable to use Codex. This is, obviously, a showstopper.

Where did you find it?
