| Manage Scope per service | <ul><li><strong>Access control:</strong> Individual API keys allow precise control over which services or users are authorized to access the API. Each service has its unique key, ensuring access authorizations are more granular.</li><li><strong>Misuse limitation:</strong> If a key is compromised or misused, access can be disabled for that specific key without affecting the others.</li><li><strong>Error isolation:</strong> If any problems or errors arise, it is simpler to identify the service or user that is impacted.</li></ul> |
