# Enterprise Control

> Give your organization AI automation without giving up control

Most AI tools ask you to choose: let people move fast, or keep control. Activepieces is built so you don't have to.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Most of these controls are on paid plans. Every plan can run on Cloud or self-hosted. See [plans and pricing](https://www.activepieces.com/pricing).

Everything is designed around one question: **can IT hand automation to the business and still answer for it?** Who can build, which apps they can reach, where credentials live, what the AI is allowed to do, and what happened afterwards.

That's why regulated industries and governments run Activepieces, often fully self-hosted and network-gapped, on their own infrastructure.

## What control looks like

> [card] [Who can do what](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/admin-guide/guides/permissions.md)
>
> Projects, roles, and permissions, so teams are separated by default.

> [card] [Who gets in](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/admin-guide/guides/sso.md)
>
> SSO and SCIM, so access follows your identity provider.

> [card] [Where secrets live](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/admin-guide/guides/secret-managers/overview.md)
>
> Bring your own vault. Credentials never have to sit in the product.

> [card] [What's available](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/admin-guide/guides/manage-pieces.md)
>
> Decide which apps and pieces your organization can use at all.

> [card] [Which AI, on whose keys](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/admin-guide/guides/setup-ai-providers.md)
>
> Your providers, your models, your budget.

> [card] [What happened](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/admin-guide/security/audit-logs/overview.md)
>
> Audit logs for every meaningful action, streamable to your SIEM.

## Why it matters for AI

Shadow AI is the current version of shadow IT. People will automate with AI whether or not you provide a way, and the risk isn't the automation, it's not knowing it exists.

Activepieces makes the sanctioned path the easy one:

| Concern | The control |
| - | - |
| Data leaving your network | Self-host it, fully network-gapped |
| Which models see your data | [Your own AI keys and providers](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/admin-guide/guides/setup-ai-providers.md) |
| Credentials in the wrong hands | [External secret managers](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/admin-guide/guides/secret-managers/overview.md) |
| Unreviewed changes reaching production | [Project releases](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/admin-guide/guides/project-releases.md) and environments |
| No record of what was done | [Audit logs](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/admin-guide/security/audit-logs/overview.md) and [event streaming](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/admin-guide/guides/event-streaming.md) |
