Public API Keys

All calls to the Dataiku Govern public API, either performed using The REST API or API for Dataiku Govern must be authenticated using API keys.

There are only a single kind of API keys for the Dataiku Govern REST API:

• Global API keys

Global API keys

Global API keys are keys that are defined for the whole Dataiku Govern instance. Global API keys can only be created and modified by DSS administrators.

Global API keys are not equivalent to a DSS user. Global API keys have their own access rights, and calls performed will appear as having been performed by this key.

Global API keys are defined in Administration > Security > Global API Keys

• Manage log files
