TipThis article describes how to create API keys for legacy accounts. If you're using a new Trend Micro Cloud One account, see Manage API keys instead.
|
Create an API key to use for authenticating your requests with Server & Workload Protection. Trend Micro recommends creating one
API key for every user needing API access to the Server & Workload Protection.
Upon creation of an API key, you are provided a unique secret key that is associated
with the API key. You use this secret key with your API calls for authenticating.
You must store the secret key when it is provided because at no other time are you
able to obtain it. If you lose the secret key you must create a new API key or create
a new secret key for the API key.
 |
NoteAn account with administrator privileges is required to create an API key.
|
To create a new API key:
Procedure
- Go to .
- Click New.
- In the Properties window, enter a Name and Description for the API key.
- Click on the Role list and select a role. Auditor grants read-only access to the Server & Workload Protection through the API, while Full Access grants both read and write access. If you need more specific roles for API key users, you can select New and define one. See User Roles for more information on doing so.
- Select a Language.
- Select a Time Zone to associate with the key. This is the default time zone used for interpreting date and time values in API calls and responses.
- Optionally select Expires on and select a date to limit access to a specific period of time.
- Click OK.
- Copy the Secret key value.

If an existing API key has been compromised, you can lock it out:
Procedure

- Optionally select Locked Out (Denied permission to authenticate) to block usage of the API key.
- Click OK.
