Knowledge Base & Operational DocumentationHow to Investigate a Security Alert for a New Administrator API Key
A new administrator API key may be part of deployment automation or an unauthorized persistent credential. API keys can be used without interactive sign-in and may not appear in normal user login reports.
What to check
Identify who created it, its owner, scope, expiration, storage location, last use, and associated deployment. Review audit events and API activity after creation, and confirm the business purpose with the system owner.
Recommended next step
If unapproved, revoke the key, preserve logs, and assess activity performed with it. For legitimate automation, reduce permissions, store it securely, and set rotation and ownership requirements.
