Important Information about Provisioning Keys

  • When you create a connector group, a provisioning key is automatically generated for the group.
  • Provisioning keys are used only when deploying a new connector; they are not used for anything after that.
  • Provisioning keys expire after 14 days.
    • This expiration does not affect existing deployed connectors.
    • You cannot use an expired key to create a new connector; instead, generate a new provisioning key using the Regenerate button. Regenerating a provisioning key does not affect existing connectors. See Add Connectors to a Connector Group.
  • If you want to prevent a key from being used to create additional connectors, for example if you suspect that a bad actor has somehow obtained the key, regenerate the key. You must use the current key to deploy additional connectors. Regenerating a provisioning key invalidates the existing key but does not affect existing connectors. See Add Connectors to a Connector Group.
  • If you revoke a connector, this also revokes and regenerates the current provisioning key for the connector's connector group. For details, see Disable, Revoke, or Delete Resource Connectors and Groups.
  • Provisioning keys appear on the Admin > API Keys page. Do not delete provisioning keys from the API Keys page. These keys have a name like "Connector Provisioning Key - GroupName" along with a timestamp.
