Expected result and verification
- The supported understand the openai chat message roles flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
- The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
- Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.
Security, privacy and operational checks
- Restrict the API key and AI settings to authorised administrators.
- Do not submit confidential, special-category or unnecessary personal data to the external AI provider.
- Review generated text before using it in customer, staff, legal, financial or compliance communication.
- Monitor provider billing and retention independently because this module has no built-in cost dashboard.
