Create a key

Reading or writing key definitions requires an admin key.

Problem

You need to create a key in the current database.

Solution

Use the CreateKey function:

Copied!
({
  database: ("prydain"),
  role: "server"
})
{
  ref: ((), "309732159785009664"),
  ts: 1631642455800000,
  database: ("prydain"),
  role: 'server',
  secret: 'fnAETGPCH4ACAIf9avmbmbXAS7Yl-P-hDbw8QF9y',
  hashed_secret: '$2a$05$U6/orFxArR4o/LmMBabTwuD.SEkkujaxj9q4gb0wRhYP5AXLJNadW'
}
Query metrics:

  •    bytesIn:    77

  •   bytesOut:   340

  • computeOps:     1

  •    readOps:     0

  •   writeOps:     1

  •  readBytes:   153

  • writeBytes:   487

  •  queryTime: 324ms

  •    retries:     0

The key’s secret is only ever shown once, in the response from the CreateKey function. If you lose the secret, delete the key and create a new one.
