# Access Keys

In the Access Keys section, you can create access keys for specific Enginsight components.

***

<i class="fa-compass">:compass:</i> Navigate to **Settings** → **Access Keys** to display a list of all created access keys. If you have not yet created an access key, this view will be empty.

From the [Access Keys Overview](#access-keys-ubersicht), you can see, among other things:

* The display name or automatically generated identifier of an access key.
* Which Enginsight component the access key was created for.
* The public ID of the access key.

You can also delete access keys and [create new access keys](#access-key-hinzufugen).
