To use the Audit Logs API, Pigment requires you to generate an Audit Logs API key.

> [!WARNING]
> **⚠️ Important**
> 
> You need to be a **Security Admin** to manage Audit Logs API keys.

## Access the API Keys page

Open your Workplace settings and click **API Keys** at the bottom of the Sidebar.

- **Expiration date.** Enter a date when the API key will no longer be valid.

> [!WARNING]
