Directoryz

Maintain an inventory of directory API keys

API keys need clear ownership and purpose. An unlabeled key becomes difficult to assess when an integration changes or a teammate leaves.

Directoryz editorial guide · Updated September 7, 2026

Put it into practice

Record the key's name, intended integration, owner, and review date without storing its secret value in the inventory. Remove unused access through the appropriate controls.

Worked example · illustrative

What this looks like

A key used by a scheduled listing import should have a named owner and a description of the records it updates.

Before you move on

Can you explain why every active key still exists?

Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.

A repeatable workflow

  1. Assign one owner to each recurring task.
  2. Keep decisions and evidence with the work.
  3. Review exceptions before expanding automation.

Where Directoryz fits

Directoryz supports directory publishing, listings and custom fields, CSV imports, submission review, and workspace operations. These guides include editorial workflows you can carry out with a worksheet or your own tools. They do not imply that every audit, reminder, verification, or integration is automated by Directoryz.
