API scopes and safe key handling
An API key grants access much like a password. Giving only the authority an integration needs limits the impact of mistakes.

How to apply it
Choose supported Taskending scopes for the actual use case. Do not reuse a project-intake key for administration. Keep keys in server configuration and mask them in logs. Review access after team changes or suspicious use.
A concrete example
A web form that only creates requests does not need to read every company issue. A separate monitoring integration can use its own key and permissions, making activity easier to attribute.
What to watch for
Screenshots and error messages can leak keys. Rotating a key does not automatically update its consumers; plan the configuration rollout.
How to check the outcome
Confirm that the permitted operation succeeds and an out-of-scope request is denied. Logs should contain safe connection or event identifiers rather than the key itself.
