Creating API keys

A user can have only one API key.

Note:

The 'View' RBAC permission is required to create an API key.

You can create API keys in one of the following ways:

  • Using the netbackup/security/api-keys POST API

    Any user can create an API key using the api-keys API

  • Using the NetBackup web UI

    For more details on creating API keys using the web UI or RBAC roles, refer to the NetBackup Web UI Security Administrator's Guide.

See Using an API key.

See Managing an API key.
