Authentication & API Keys

This page covers how you authenticate to Pluggedspace products and how to use API keys for programmatic access.

Portal Authentication​

  1. Navigate to https://accounts.pluggedspace.org/.
  2. Sign up or sign in with your work email and password.
  3. On first sign-up you provide an Organization Name, which establishes your secure, isolated workspace.
  4. Verify your email via the confirmation link sent to your inbox.

After sign-in you can manage team members, roles, API keys, and domain whitelisting from Settings.

API Keys​

Workspaces can generate API keys for programmatic access to the platform:

  • Create keys from the workspace Settings → API keys section.
  • Keys are scoped to your workspace and honor the same role-based access control as the portal.
  • Use the key as a bearer token on API requests:
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>

Examples that use API access:

  • Query Atlas datasets from your own applications or BI dashboards.
  • Trigger automated webhooks and integrations from external systems.

Best Practices​

  • Never commit API keys to version control — store them in a secrets manager or environment variables.
  • Rotate keys regularly and revoke keys that are no longer needed.
  • Grant the minimum role needed for the task (Viewer < Analyst < Admin < Owner).
