Manage Cloud Access Keys In Qdrant Cloud
Want to manage your Qdrant Cloud account programmatically — spinning up clusters or wiring it into your own tools? You'll need a Cloud Management Key, and in about a minute and a half, I'll walk you through creating one. Quick context: Qdrant is a vector database for AI apps, and this particular key is special — it controls your cloud account itself, like creating and managing clusters, not just the data inside one. That makes it powerful, so we'll handle it carefully. Let's log in and create one.

Go to cloud.qdrant.io
1. Introduction
Start by signing in over at cloud.qdrant.io. Once you're in, you'll land on your dashboard, with the main menu running down the left side. That sidebar is where we're headed next.
2. Access Management Section
In the left menu, under the Account heading, click "Access Management." This is where Qdrant keeps your users, roles, and the cloud keys we're after.
3. Open Cloud Management Keys
Near the top, you'll see a couple of tabs. Click "Cloud Management Keys." This is where you view any keys you already have and create new ones.
4. Create New Access Key
To make a new key, click the "Create" button in the top-right corner. Qdrant generates your key right away and opens a window showing it.
5. Confirm Key Creation
Here's your new key. Click the copy icon to grab it, and paste it straight into whatever tool you're connecting. Save it somewhere safe right now, like a password manager — because this is the only time Qdrant will show you the full key.
6. Close Access Key Dialog
Once you've safely copied and stored your key, click "Close" to exit. Your new key now appears in your list, ready to use.
And that's it. You've created a cloud management key in Qdrant Cloud and copied it somewhere safe. You're now ready to manage your clusters and resources programmatically and connect Qdrant into your own stack. Thanks for watching, and I'll catch you in the next one.
