# Add Akamai Connected Cloud credentials

Before you can add your Akamai Connected Cloud credentials to Portainer, you will need to create an API token in your Akamai account.

## Creating your API token

Log into the Akamai dashboard and click your account name in the top right. Select **API Tokens**. Click **Create a Personal Access Token**, give it a label and set an expiry. The Portainer provisioning functionality only requires **Read/Write** for the **Kubernetes** option, so disable the rest.

## Adding your credentials

To add credentials for an Akamai account, from the [Shared credentials](/sts/admin/settings/credentials.md) page click **Add credentials**, then select the **Akamai Connected Cloud** option. Give your credential set a **name** and paste your **API key** into the box.
