Workspace administration

Keys and credentials

Understand source keys, integration keys, and ingest tokens.

Source key

Identify the application environment.

The Source key identifies one application environment. It can remain visible and can be shared by multiple integrations in that environment. It does not grant workspace read access.

Integration key

Route an observation to one integration.

The Integration key identifies one integration inside the source environment. It routes observations but does not authorize API reads or management operations.

Secret ingest token

Authenticate backend observation writes.

The secret ingest token is a backend-only bearer credential for observation writes. It is displayed once, stored hashed by Seamward, and should be held in the backend secret store.
