Hello Team,

I have access to Meraki dashboard with Read only permission. when i create API Key for my Account.

I want to know my Generated API key is having read only permission or it can perform Write Action also using API Calls ?

Please provide updates.

Thanks and Regards,

Sateesh Billur.

Cisco Meraki Dashboard API - Cisco Meraki Documentation

API key permissions mirror that of the account that created it - so in your scenario, read-only.

They are - take a look under Organization > API & Webhooks. Use the 'download detailed logs' button and you should get what you're after.
