How to create and scope an API key
A key can be scoped to full, read or upload only, restricted to particular surfaces, and anchored to one workspace or even a single folder. It is shown once, so copy it there and then.
- 1 Open Profile, then API keys, then New.
- 2 Name the key and pick a scope: full, read, or upload only.
- 3 Choose the surfaces it may use: REST, WebDAV, S3, or all of them.
- 4 Anchor it to one workspace, or to a single folder.
- 5 Create it and copy the key immediately; it is shown once and never again.
