Some OpenAI GPT-5 are available on Azure by request only

Requesting model access is not the same as requesting model quota; Sometimes requesting model access will grant quota, but not always. Once you’ve requested limited access GPT models, you do not need to do it again.

Microsoft typically grants access in few hours to a few days once you have taken the steps below. Microsoft may also want to verify your email, so periodically check your email inbox.

1. Create a “Subscription” in Azure

(Skip if an AI Portal Subscription already exists)

On Azure, a Subscription is a logical container used to provision and manage Azure resources, providing boundaries for billing, access control, and governance.

Follow the steps in the link below to create a Subscription in Azure. The Subscription you create will be used for your AI Portal.

For our resources, we require paid (Pay-as-you-go or Enterprise Agreement) subscriptions. Due to resource availability AI Portal will not work in Sponsored or credit-based subscriptions.

2. Request limited access models for your Subscription

<aside> ⚠️

To ensure access request does not fail, make sure

1. You have the correct Azure subscription
2. You ARE NOT submitting with a personal email (Example: @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, etc.) </aside>

Assuming you have already created a Subscription…

1. Request access to limited access model using the following form: https://aka.ms/oai/gpt5access

• Specify the Subscription ID in which Userfront AI Portal will be located.
• Enter “Conversational AI” as the expected use.

1. Keep an eye out for an email confirming from Microsoft asking you to verify your email address
