Connect with an API token

  1. In Descope:

    1. In the Descope console, open the company page (Company Settings) and select the Management Keys tab.
    2. Create a management key there.

    Where to find the other values:

    • Account / Org / Workspace (optional): If you enter your Descope Project ID, it is shown on the console's Project Settings page.

    Descope's public documentation does not cover every step.

    The fetched pages say only that management keys are created in the Management Keys tab under Company Settings; the dialog's fields, the project association, read-only role names and whether the key is shown once are not documented there. Re-verify in the console.
