# ssh\_key:read Last edited on 28 Aug 2025 ## Scope Summary View 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. `ssh_key:read` has no additional required scopes. ## 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:read`: | Scope | Description | |---|---| | [`droplet:read`](../../droplet/read) | View Droplets |
