# Scoped API Keys

Enterprise customers can define specific permissions to grant an API key.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This feature is only available to Enterprise customers.
{% endhint %}

Scoped API keys let you issue an API key that has specific permissions.

For example, you can issue an API key that allows you to manage images in a Project, but does not allow you to manage models.

To create a scoped API key, go to your [Settings - API keys](https://app.roboflow.com/settings/api):

Next, click "Generate New Key":

This will add a new key to your Workspace.

To define the scope for the API key, click the edit icon in the table row of the API key you want to update.

A window will appear where you can set a name for and define the scope for your API key:

You can customise API key scopes at any time.
