Endpoints in the dashboard


We have looked at user management in the dashboard; now let's look at service and endpoints in the web interface. The dashboard does not provide a way to add or update services and endpoints. This is something reserved for the command line because it is usually done once and does not need any more management once it is done. Click on the Project menu and the Access & Security submenu. There will be a set of tabs to select from across the top of the screen, as shown in the following screenshot. Select API Access. Does this look familiar?
