API Key
An API key is a credential used to authenticate requests to a service API. Its effective permissions depend on the service's scopes and access model, and possession may be sufficient to exercise those permissions.
Why it matters
Service credentials need explicit ownership, scope, storage, and rotation practices.
Practical example
Store an automation key in a secret manager and rotate it when ownership changes.
WarpBuild relevance
WarpBuild API keys can be scoped for CI and cache operations.
