# Arnica Instructions

> Instructions on how to generate credentials for Arnica.

For Leen to authenticate with Arnica, we require the following:

1. **Access Token**: Arnica API Key used to authenticate requests to Arnica.

Leen requires this access token to have the scope **risks:read**. In the following section, we will cover how to create an Arnica API Key with the minimum required permissions.

## Setup and Permissions

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a new API key">
    From your Arnica Console, open up the sidebar menu and navigate to the **API** page.

    Here, you can see a list of existing API Keys. If you already have an API key with the required permissions, you can use that. Otherwise, click on the **Create API key** button to create a new one.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Permissions">
    To create a new API Key, give it a name and select only the **risks:read** permissions.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy API Key">
    Once you have selected the permissions and created the API key, copy the key and use it to create a new connection in Leen.
