### Grant access to the Akamai API to perform actions
 
Create [EdgeGrid authentication credentials](https://techdocs.akamai.com/developer/docs/set-up-authentication-credentials) and note all the generated information (`client_secret`, `host`, `access_token`, `client_token`). You reuse these values later in the setup.
 
Additionally, update the **API restrictions** for the actions to the appropriate access level shown in the following table:
 
| Title | Description | Access level |
|----|----|----|
| [Microsoft Edge Diagnostics](https://developer.akamai.com/) | Microsoft Edge Diagnostics | READ-WRITE |
| [Property Manager (PAPI)](https://developer.akamai.com/api/luna/papi/overview.html) | Property Manager (PAPI). PAPI requires access to Microsoft Edge Hostnames. Edit your authorizations to add HAPI to your API Client. | READ-ONLY |
