# Managing API Keys

> Learn how to create and manage API keys for RAD Security

## API Key Types

RAD Security offers two types of API keys:

1. **Generic Key** - Use this for general API calls. It provides comprehensive read and write privileges.

2. **Cloud Key** - This is restricted to cloud registrations with RAD.

## API Key Provisioning

Navigate to **Settings → Access Keys** to manage your API keys.

The interface shows your current keys with identifiers, creation dates, and last activity information. You can delete keys via the trash icon.

### Creating a New Key

1. Select **New Key** in the top right to open the "Add Access Key" window
2. Provide the following information:
   * **Access Key Name** - A unique identifier you assign to the key
   * **Key Type** - Select either generic or cloud

Upon creation, you will receive:

* **Key Id** - A uniquely generated string
* **Secret Key** - A uniquely generated string

<Warning>
  The secret key is only displayed once and cannot be retrieved later. If you misplace the secret key, you'll need to create a new one.
</Warning>
