Scope Summary
Upload SSH keys
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 ssh_key:create:
| Scope | Description | 
|---|---|
| ssh_key:read | View SSH keys | 
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 ssh_key:create:
| Scope | Description | 
|---|---|
| droplet:create | Create Droplets | 
| droplet:read | View Droplets |
