Add KeyAdmin API Keys

The Secure Access Key Admin API enables you to create and manage Secure Access API keys. In a script or client program, use your KeyAdmin API key credentials to authenticate with Secure Access and generate a short-lived API access token. Then, make API requests with your access token to the Key Admin API to create Secure Access API keys for your organization. You must include your access token in an API request for every operation. For more information, see Secure Access API Authentication.

You can create any number of Key Admin API keys for your organization. When you create a KeyAdmin API key, choose a unique key name, description, key expiration date, and the KeyAdmin API key scopes. The key description and expiration date are optional. If you do not set an expiration date when you add the key, Secure Access sets your KeyAdmin API key to never expire.

Once you add a KeyAdmin API key to Secure Access, you can refresh your key's credentials, update the key's name, description, expiration date, and key scopes, and delete the API key.
