# New Custom Agent controls for admins

By Steven Van · 2026-05-05

Two months ago, we launched Custom Agents in beta.

[Notion](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/notion>) has added a set of admin controls for Custom Agents, the workspace AI agents that left beta two months ago after teams created more than a million of them. The [new controls](<https://www.notion.so/releases/2026-05-05>) let admins manage who can build agents and how much they can spend.

- Admins can restrict who creates Custom Agents to specific individuals or user groups, and set per-agent credit limits with the agent's creator, from Settings → Notion AI → Agents.

- Enterprise admins can also set a single workspace-level credit limit that applies to all new and existing agents, from Settings → Notion credits.

- A Notion credits dashboard shows total usage broken down by agent, plus spend trends, status, and recent activity; admins can disable an agent directly from there if it is spending too fast. Admins managing multiple workspaces get an equivalent credits dashboard in the admin console.

- Workspaces get email and in-app alerts as they approach their credit limit, all agents pause automatically if credits run out, and any agent that starts spending unusually fast is paused with a notification to its creator. Members can request a higher credit limit, but it requires admin approval.
