Services
Services allow you to create a Cloudsmith API Key not tied to a specific user. Services are ideal for any use case where you have automated processes (such as a CI/CD pipeline or similar) that requires write access to a repository.
For use cases that only require pull/read access to a repository, you may wish to use an Entitlement Token.
NOTE
To create or manage Services for your organization, you need to have Owner or Manager permissions.
Create a Service
To create a Service, go to Services on your Cloudsmith organization's accounts page, and click "Create Service":
