About API keys
A NetBackup API key is a pre-authenticated token that identifies a NetBackup user to NetBackup RESTful APIs. The user can use the API key in an API request header when a NetBackup API requires authentication. NetBackup audits operations that are performed with that key with the full identity of the user.
