You must generate an API key from the Carbon Black Cloud console and use the generated API key to establish a connection between the Carbon Black Cloud console and Carbon Black Cloud Workload appliance deployed in the vCenter Server. You can configure one appliance per vCenter Server. You can configure multiple appliances for your organization. If you are configuring multiple appliances, generate a separate API key for each appliance.
After the appliance is deployed, using the created custom access level, generate an API key for the appliance. You can use the same custom access level to configure multiple appliances for your organization.
