# Manage access keys

Access keys allow you to securely identify a user when working with Selectel products.

Different keys are used depending on the task:

* [SSH keys](#manage-ssh-keys) — for encrypted connection to servers;
* [API keys](#manage-api-keys) — for authenticating requests to [Selectel API](/api/);
* [S3 keys](#manage-s3-keys) — for accessing buckets in [S3](/s3/) and the [Logs service](/logs/);
* [ADB keys](#manage-adb-keys) — for connecting to mobile farm [devices](/mobile-farm/);
* [Proxy keys](#manage-proxy-keys) — for proxying traffic of mobile farm [devices](/mobile-farm/).

[Panel users](/access-control/user-types.mdx#panel-users) can manage their access keys: add new ones or delete those that are no longer needed.

## Manage SSH keys \{#manage-ssh-keys}

To securely connect to a server using the encrypted SSH protocol, you can [add](#add-ssh-key) and [delete SSH keys](#delete-ssh-key) in your profile.

[Account owner](/access-control/user-types.mdx#account-owner) and users with the [`iam.admin`](/access-control/role-reference.mdx#iam-admin) role can manage other users' SSH keys, including service users; for more details, see the [Manage user SSH keys](/access-control/manage/edit-user-data-or-role.mdx#manage-ssh-keys) subsection of the [Edit user data or permissions](/access-control/manage/edit-user-data-or-role.mdx) guide.

### Add SSH key \{#add-ssh-key}

If you have [created an SSH key](/cloud-servers/manage/create-and-place-ssh-key.mdx#create-ssh-keys), you can add its public part to your profile. The added SSH key can be [placed on a cloud server](/cloud-servers/manage/create-and-place-ssh-key.mdx#place-public-ssh-key).

The key will be available in all projects you are added to.
