# API Keys

API Keys in [**MSquared**](https://dash.mserve.io/) provide secure, programmatic access to your organization's resources. Key features include:

* [Custom permissions](https://docs.msquared.io/dash/organizations/api-keys/api-key-permissions): Similar to member permissions, specify access by project, resource, and action (read/write/admin).
* Flexible integration: Enable automated interactions with MSquared resources.
* Security: Unique keys are generated for controlled access.
* Easy management: Create, copy, and manage keys within the platform.

API Keys allow for seamless integration of MSquared functionalities into external systems or workflows while maintaining robust access control.
