We improved the API key generation process, adding the ability to restrict the permissions of an API key to a specific set of actions.

When linking a key to a user, you're linking that user's permissions to the key. Now, you can restrict the permissions of that key to subset of actions within that user's role.

Orders
This option limits the key to these actions: Orders, Requests, and Certificates.
Orders, Domains, Organizations
This option limits the key to these actions: Orders, Requests, Certificates, Organizations, and Domains.

For more information, see Generate an API key.

We added a new information icon to the API key list on the Account Access page to help you quickly identify API keys with restricted permissions (in the sidebar menu, click Account > Account Access). Clicking the icon allows you to see what integrations the key can be used for.

We've added a new Edit API key feature that allows you to edit the description and permissions of an active API key.

To edit an API key, in the sidebar menu, click Account > Account Access. On the Account Access page, under API Keys, click the API Key Name link.

For more information, see Edit an API key.
