Title: API key?
Post by: eric_zrgoq14k on February 05, 2026, 04:47:50 PM
I must be me but I just can't find a API key generation tool in the GUI.
According to the documentation there should be a API section on the user manager page. But not on my system.

Never mind. Found it of course just after posting.
It is another Tab in the user section

You don't have this tool in the user listing?

Yep, I have it now. But when I was looking for that API yesterday, that 'hover' label did not show it was a API gen button. So I did not pay attention to that button anymore.
But maybe since 26.1.1 that hover text has changed, cuz now I see it is API generator button.
All good!

Cheers, Eric
