Fleet (FleetDM) API keys allow you to interact directly with your Fleet instance — for example to run scripts, query device data, or integrate with other tools. You can create Fleet API keys directly from Primo or via the Fleet dashboard.

​
Generate a Fleet API key from Primo

  1. Go to Settings > Developers > Fleet API Keys.
  2. Click Create API key.
  3. Give the key a name and configure permissions.
  4. Click Create.
  5. Copy the token immediately — it will not be shown again.
Keep your Fleet API token secret and do not share it. It has the permissions you configured during creation.

​
Generate a Fleet API key from Fleet dashboard

  1. Open your Fleet dashboard (accessible from the Primo cockpit via Settings > MDM > Open Fleet).
  2. Click your avatar in the top-right corner and go to My account.
  3. Scroll to API token.
  4. Click Get API token.
  5. Copy the token — it is tied to your Fleet user account.
Your Fleet API token has the same permissions as your Fleet user account. Keep it secret and do not share it.
