We have the API Key screen today to create a gateway API key.
Why do we need this? Who uses it, and when?
API Keys for gateways can only be one of two types
Gateway connection (including LBS LNS): This API key requires only one right Right_RIGHT_GATEWAY_LINK, "link as Gateway to a Gateway Server for traffic exchange, i.e. write uplink and read downlink"
CUPS: This requires three rights:
View Gateway Information
Retrieve Secrets Associated with the gateway
Edit basic gateway settings
Instead of users going to this page and selecting the rights, we should make this easier.
Proposed Implementation
In the overview page of a particular gateway, have a button to generate an API Key.
Here we can provide a dropdown with two types (connection/LNS and CUPS) and an optional expiry.
Once the user selects it we either have the same "please copy the key" or we can generate a file and auto download via the browser.
Contributing
[ ] I can help by doing more research.
[ ] I can help by implementing the feature after the proposal above is approved.
[X] I can help by testing the feature before it's released.
