#### Policies Assignment

Select which policies this API key should inherit:

* **Customer Service** — Access to customer interaction features
* **Support** — Permissions for support-related functions

#### Expiry Configuration&#x20;

Set when the API key should expire using the **Expires by** dropdown. Options include:

* **Never** — Key remains active indefinitely
* Custom expiration dates for enhanced security

## Security Best Practices

* Store API keys securely and never expose them in client-side code.
* Use appropriate expiration dates for enhanced security.
* Assign minimal required policies following the principle of least privilege.
* Regularly audit and rotate API keys.
