Access keys

Access keys provide a way to securely access the resources that you need to use without exposing your login credentials.

In the context of Bird, an access key is used to authenticate and authorize an application or user to interact with the Bird APIs.

Create an access key

1. Go to your Organization Settings and click Access roles.

2. Click on the Add new access key button.
