For AI agents: The documentation index is at https://docs.digitalocean.com/llms.txt. Markdown versions of pages use the same URL with index.html.md in place of the HTML page (for example, append index.html.md to the directory path instead of opening the HTML document).

Each Managed Weaviate cluster has a single admin user. The Weaviate client authenticates with the admin user’s API token, which is separate from your DigitalOcean API token.

You can reset the admin API token in the Control Panel when you need to rotate credentials after a suspected leak, team change, or periodic security review.

Rotate the Admin API Token Using the Control Panel

To reset the admin API token, go to the Vector Databases page and click the cluster name to open its Overview page.

Select the Users tab. In the Users section, click Rotate beside the cluster’s admin user. Enter the user ID to confirm, and then click Rotate password.

To view the new token, click Show, and then copy the token to a secret manager.

You can also view the token later from the Connection Details section on the cluster’s Overview page. See How to Connect to Weaviate Clusters. You can retrieve the token with the Retrieve Admin Credentials API endpoint.

Update Client Applications

After you rotate the token, update every application, script, and CI job that connects to the cluster. Pass the new token to your Weaviate client as a Bearer token. For connection examples, see How to Connect to Weaviate Clusters.

Connections that still use the previous token fail with authentication errors until you update them.
