Kling AI Team Setup

Overview

Manage team access to the Kling AI API using separate API keys, environment-based routing, usage quotas per team member, and centralized credential management.

Per-Environment API Keys

Create separate API key pairs in the Kling AI developer console for each environment:

# .env.development
KLING_ACCESS_KEY="ak_dev_..."
KLING_SECRET_KEY="sk_dev_..."

# .env.production
KLING_ACCESS_KEY="ak_prod_..."
KLING_SECRET_KEY="sk_prod_..."

Team Configuration

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Optional

@dataclass
class TeamMember:
    name: str
    email: str
    role: str  # admin, editor, viewer
    daily_credit_limit: int
    allowed_models: list[str]

@dataclass
class TeamConfig:
    name: str
    members: list[TeamMember]
    total_daily_limit: int = 1000
    default_model: str = "kling-v2-master"
    default_mode: str = "standard"

    def get_member(self, email: str) -> Optional[TeamMember]:
        return next((m for m in self.members if m.email == email), None)

# Example team configuration
team = TeamConfig(
    name="marketing",
    total_daily_limit=5000,
    members=[
        TeamMember("Alice", "alice@co.com", "admin", 2000,
                   ["kling-v2-6", "kling-v2-master", "kling-v2-5-turbo"]),
        TeamMember("Bob", "bob@co.com", "editor", 500,
                   ["kling-v2-master", "kling-v2-5-turbo"]),
        TeamMember("Carol", "carol@co.com", "viewer", 100,
                   ["kling-v2-5-turbo"]),
    ],
)

Usage Quotas Per Member

import time
from collections import defaultdict

class TeamQuotaManager:
    """Enforce per-member and team-wide credit limits."""

    def __init__(self, config: TeamConfig):
        self.config = config
        self._usage = defaultdict(int)  # email -> credits used today
        self._reset_time = time.time()

    def _check_reset(self):
        if time.time() - self._reset_time > 86400:
            self._usage.clear()
            self._reset_time = time.time()

    def authorize(self, email: str, credits_needed: int, model: str) -> bool:
        self._check_reset()
        member = self.config.get_member(email)
        if not member:
            raise PermissionError(f"Unknown user: {email}")

        if model not in member.allowed_models:
            raise PermissionError(f"{email} not authorized for {model}")

        if self._usage[email] + credits_needed > member.daily_credit_limit:
            raise RuntimeError(f"{email} exceeds daily limit "
                             f"({self._usage[email]} + {credits_needed} > {member.daily_credit_limit})")

        team_total = sum(self._usage.values()) + credits_needed
        if team_total > self.config.total_daily_limit:
            raise RuntimeError(f"Team daily limit exceeded ({team_total} > {self.config.total_daily_limit})")

        return True

    def record_usage(self, email: str, credits: int):
        self._usage[email] += credits

    def usage_report(self) -> dict:
        return {
            "team_total": sum(self._usage.values()),
            "team_limit": self.config.total_daily_limit,
            "by_member": dict(self._usage),
        }

Secrets Management

# Load from AWS Secrets Manager
import boto3
import json

def get_kling_credentials(secret_name="kling/prod"):
    client = boto3.client("secretsmanager")
    secret = client.get_secret_value(SecretId=secret_name)
    creds = json.loads(secret["SecretString"])
    return creds["access_key"], creds["secret_key"]

Access Control Wrapper

class TeamKlingClient:
    """Kling client with team-level access control."""

    def __init__(self, base_client, quota_manager: TeamQuotaManager):
        self.client = base_client
        self.quotas = quota_manager

    def text_to_video(self, email: str, prompt: str, **kwargs):
        model = kwargs.get("model", "kling-v2-master")
        credits = 10 if kwargs.get("mode") != "professional" else 35
        self.quotas.authorize(email, credits, model)

        result = self.client.text_to_video(prompt, **kwargs)
        self.quotas.record_usage(email, credits)
        return result

Prerequisites

• An approved team role matrix, authorized workspace, budget owner, rights/content-policy workflow, synthetic test brief, and a tested access-revocation path.

Instructions

1. Configure least-privilege roles in a sandbox team and reject shared credentials or unapproved publishing destinations.
2. Test quota, approval, audit, policy, and revocation paths with synthetic briefs only; keep all generated assets draft-only.
3. Run one role canary at a time and halt on unexpected permission, budget, policy, or retention drift.
4. Promote roles only after owner approval, revoke temporary access, and delete test assets after the agreed window.

Output

Produce a team-setup receipt with workspace, role scopes, quota limits, approval/policy checks, draft-only assertion, revocation test, owner approval, retention/removal proof, and rollback reference. Exclude member identities and credentials.

Error Handling

Examples

workspace=sandbox-studio; role=editor-draft-only; quota=100-credits; policy=pass; publish=disabled; revocation=tested is a valid setup canary.
