Create a named API key with an optional expiration date for an organization user in Vultr IAM to support a specific integration, script, or automated workflow.
A user in your organization can hold multiple named API keys, each with its own optional expiration date. Creating a dedicated API key for a specific integration or workflow lets you revoke that access independently without affecting the user's other keys.
Follow this guide to create an API key for a user using the Vultr Console or the Vultr API.
Use a root user account or a user with the Manage Users permission on the organization.
Log in to the Vultr Console.
Click the organization name in the top navigation bar.
Click Manage Organization.
Click Users.
Click the user you want to create an API key for.
Under API Access, click Create API Key.
Enter a Key Name. This field is optional.
To set an expiration date, select Should the API key expire? and choose an Expiration Date. Leave this unselected to create a key that does not expire.
Click Generate API Key.
Click Copy to Clipboard to copy the generated key.
The API key is only displayed once. Store it securely, as it cannot be retrieved again after this step.
Select I have successfully copied the key and click Finalize Key Generation.
The new key appears in the API Keys list on the user's management page.
