An Okta Administrator needs to create an API key that cannot change configurations. Which level of permissions should be assigned?

The selected answer focuses on the "Read-Only Administrator" permissions level as the appropriate choice for creating an API key that cannot change configurations. This role is specifically designed for users who need to view settings and data within the Okta organization without the ability to modify any configurations.

When assigned as a "Read-Only Administrator," the API key generated under this role allows operations that involve retrieving or reading data but does not permit any changes to the settings or configurations of the Okta environment. This ensures that sensitive configurations remain intact and can only be altered by roles with higher privileges, thus maintaining a greater level of security.

In contrast, other roles like "Super Administrator" and "API Token Administrator" include broader permissions that enable significant configuration changes. The "Service Account" typically grants flexible permissions based on the use case but does not inherently restrict the ability to alter configurations unless specifically set. Therefore, the "Read-Only Administrator" role is optimal for situations where an API key needs to be restricted to non-modifying actions.
