Skip to main contentHow to Create a Service Account and API Key
Head to the dashboard in the web console at https://app.confident.security/dashboard and click on the “Create Service Account” button towards the upper right hand corner of the page.
This will take you to the API Keys page, which lists the service accounts in your organization on the left hand side.
To add a new account, click the plus icon next to “Service Accounts”.
Enter an account name and the monthly spending limit. If you don’t wish to have a spending limit for the account, you can switch off the toggle next to “Monthly spending limit”.

To do so, navigate to the API Keys page and click on your desired service account.

Once you click “Create”, the value of your key will be displayed like so:
Make sure to copy your key and store it in a safe place.
Once your key is created, it will show up in your service account page, where you can edit or delete the key in the future, as shown below.
Spending Limits

You can change the spending limit that you initially set for a service account by navigating to your service account page and clicking “edit account”.
This will open a pop-up where you can reset your spending limit.
To set the overall spending limit for an organization, navigate to the Settings page, which will include an option to update your organization’s spending limit.
Make sure to select the “Limited” radio button and enter the desired amount in the text box.
Remember to click “save” to have your change take effect.
Note that you must be an organization administrator or manager to update the spending limit for your organization.
