  1. Open your project in Novorender.

  2. Go to Members.

  3. Click Add member.

  4. Select API key as the member type.

  5. Enter a name for the API key user (for example: API user).

  6. Assign a role with the permissions the API key should have in the project.

    • Example: Project Administrator.

  7. Click Add.

When the API key is created, a dialog will appear showing the API key.

⚠️ Important: This is the only time the API key will be visible. Copy and store it securely before closing the dialog.


Notes

  • API keys can be created at two levels:

    • Project level – added as a member in a specific project.

    • Organization level – created at the organization level and valid across projects, depending on permissions.

    • You need organization administrator access to be able to create APR-keys.

  • Always save the API key when it appears. It cannot be retrieved later.

  • Do not share the API key with more people than those who strictly need access.

  • Treat API keys like passwords and store them securely.


Best Practices

  • Use the least-privilege principle: only grant the permissions required.

  • Create separate API keys for different integrations or services.

  • Rotate API keys regularly and remove unused keys.
