To create a new API key, go to the **API Keys** section within **Settings**. Click the **Add System Key** button, then provide a name for your API key. You may also include an optional description and set an expiration date if desired. All your API keys will be listed and manageable in this section.
### System vs User API Keys
- System API keys represent the actions taken by the system as a whole
- User API keys represent the actions of a particular user. They are tied to lifespan of the user that created them.

- **Members** can access their own profile and manage their own user API keys
### Adding Collaborators
