# Manage SSH keys

***

## Manage SSH keys using the control panel

You can manage your SSH keys by clicking **SSH keys** in the left-hand menu in the control panel. These keys are unique to the current project, but can be used for both KVM and VMware virtual machines.

A list of your current keys for the project will be presented. To view the content of a key, click the down-arrow icon.

## Manage SSH keys using the API

Using the [API](/platform/control-panel/api.md), you can perform the same actions as through the control panel.

* To add a new key, use the [sshkey/add](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#sshkeyadd) endpoint.
* To delete a key, use the [sshkey/remove](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#sshkeyremove) endpoint.
* To list your current keys, use the [sshkey/list](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#sshkeylist) endpoint.
