Overview

The user details view includes a dedicated API keys card. It lists all API credentials assigned to that user, using the same table behaviour as the global API keys overview, including additional metadata columns (creation and last-modified timestamps, and optionally “Created by”).

The view supports transparency and administration: which keys belong to which account, and when they were created or last changed.


All available columns (data and actions)

ColumnMeaning

Further Information

Please note that deleting a user does not automatically remove their API keys. Existing processes for creating, editing and deleting users and API keys remain unchanged. It is recommended that API keys be removed manually before deleting a user. A corresponding note has been added to the delete modal.

For existing API keys before 19 April 2026, it may be the case that not all information is available. In such cases, missing values are represented by “-”. Furthermore, it is possible that existing API keys are not displayed on the details page of the associated user.
