# Manage API keys (Provisioned Mode)

## Manage API keys in Provisioned Mode

You can secure your endpoint with API keys in Provisioned Mode and manage (add or change) them through the UI or CLI.

### Using web console

You can add an API key using a VESSL secret. You can either use an existing generic secret or create a new one. To learn more about secrets, please refer to the [Add secrets](/guides/organization/secrets) documentation.
