Understanding API Key Types

Note: Service API keys provide system-level access and are distinct from user API keys which grant individual user access.
  • Service API Keys: Used for automated processes, integrations, and system-level operations. These keys typically have broader permissions and are not tied to individual users.
  • User API Keys: Associated with specific users and provide individualized access to Portkey resources. These keys are generally more limited in scope and tied to the permissions of the specific user.
