  1. In Account Home, select R2.
  2. Under Account details, select Manage R2 API tokens.
  3. Select Create API token.
  4. Select the R2 Token text to edit your API token name.
  5. Under Permissions, choose a permission types for your token. Refer to Permissions for information about each option.
  6. (Optional) If you select the Object Read and Write or Object Read permissions, you can scope your token to a set of buckets.
  7. Select Create API Token.

After your token has been successfully created, review your Secret Access Key and Access Key ID values. These may often be referred to as Client Secret and Client ID, respectively.
