What describes the necessary permissions for a service account used to create a non-configurable API key?

The necessary permissions for a service account used to create a non-configurable API key are accurately described as Read-Only Administrator rights. This permission level allows the account to have visibility into the necessary components of the Okta environment without granting excessive privileges that could lead to potential security risks or misconfigurations.

In the context of working with API keys, a Read-Only Administrator can access the information required to generate or manage keys while ensuring that they cannot modify settings or configurations that might disrupt service operation or security posture. This is crucial because API keys are often used to interact programmatically with services, and ensuring that the service account only has restricted permissions minimizes the impact if the account is ever compromised.

The other permissions mentioned are either too broad or do not align with the principle of least privilege, which is a critical concept in security best practices. By granting only Read-Only access, organizations can safely manage their API keys without risking broader administrative capabilities that could have unintended consequences.
