No Personal Keys Configured

Personal API KeyAny user who is a member of an NGC org can generate Personal API Keys. These keys are tied to the user's lifecycle within the NGC org and can access up to the permissions and services assigned to the user. During the key generation steps, users can configure which NGC services are accessible by the API key and the time-to-live from one hour to 'never expires'.

NGC CLI

ngc config set

DockerFor the username, enter '$oauthtoken' exactly as shown. It is a special authentication key for all users.

docker login nvcr.io


Username: $oauthtoken
Password: <Your Key>

Legacy Keys

The Legacy NGC API Key is the original authentication method for the platform. Please review the following operational constraints and usage guidelines:

Single Active Instance: Only one key may be active at a time. Generating a new key automatically and immediately revokes the previous one.
Usage Scope: This key is required for Base Command Platform, Fleet Command, cross-organization authorization, and services that do not yet support Personal API Keys.
Migration: While NVIDIA maintains support for this key type, users are encouraged to migrate to Personal API Keys where possible.
