Scope Summary
Upload SSL certificates
Required Scopes
To add a scope to an API token, you must also add its required scopes. For example, to add a non-read scope for a resource type, you must also add the read scope for that resource type.
The following scopes are required for certificate:create:
| Scope | Description | 
|---|---|
| certificate:read | View SSL certificates | 
Associated Scopes
Associated scopes are not required, but they support full functionality of the scope they’re associated with.
For example, to create a Droplet, you need droplet:create. To tag a Droplet during creation, you additionally need tag:create, so tag:create is listed as an associated scope for droplet:create.
The following scopes are associated with certificate:create:
| Scope | Description | 
|---|---|
| domain:read | View domains and domain records | 
| domain:update | Modify domains and domain records |
