Overview

The API Keys module allows organizations to securely authenticate applications, adapters, and integrations with Snapsec.
API keys act as a trusted access mechanism, enabling programmatic communication between Snapsec services and external systems without exposing user credentials. This module is essential for teams building integrations, automating workflows, or extending Snapsec’s capabilities across environments.
