Managing Keys

View, update, rotate, or remove your AI provider keys from the dashboard.

On this page

Managed access needs no customer-visible secret. Keys you add yourself are managed from the dashboard’s advanced Settings area.

Viewing your keys

Settings lists only provider keys you added yourself. The server-managed credential is deliberately hidden; view its remaining prepaid balance on Billing.

Updating or rotating a key

To replace a key — for example, after rotating it at the provider:

1

Open advanced Settings

Open the provider-key section for your helper.

2

Edit the provider entry

Use the edit control next to the provider you want to update.

3

Paste the new key and save

The old key is replaced. Your helper restarts briefly to pick up the change.

Good rotation practice: create the new key at the provider first, save it in BrainRoad, confirm your helper is working, then revoke the old key in the provider’s dashboard.

Removing a provider

Each provider entry has a remove control. Removing your own key returns the helper to BrainRoad-managed access when managed balance and entitlement are available. At zero managed balance, new model work waits; nothing is deleted.

Where keys are stored

Your own keys are written into your helper’s private, isolated runtime configuration. BrainRoad’s account-managed credential arrives through a Kubernetes Secret or mounted file, never through the browser, Helm arguments, process arguments, or another account. BrainRoad can rotate its managed credential without touching keys you added yourself.
