# Rename or delete an OAuth API key

OAuth API keys are used for authenticating API requests from your system to Redox. [Learn about authentication methods](/basics/data-exchange-with-redox/authenticating-and-sending-data-via-redox). 

You can rename an existing or delete unnecessary OAuth API keys. 

## Prerequisites

- A user must be assigned to an <u>**engineer role**</u> to manage OAuth API keys. [Learn about user roles](/basics/managing-access-for-your-redox-organization/what-are-user-roles).
- To delete an OAuth API key, log into a <u>**development**</u> or <u>**staging**</u> environment. Self-service deletion is disabled in production. Talk to your Technical Account Manager to delete production assets. You should also ensure you have more than one existing OAuth API key before deleting any.
