DigitalOcean is replacing the shared credential model for Functions namespaces with user-specific access keys. The new model automatically revokes keys when team members are removed, supports multiple keys per namespace, adds optional TTL/expiration, and improves auditability. A dual-support grace period is active, but all users must migrate to the new keys before the legacy method is sunsetted. The post walks through creating, listing, updating, and deleting keys via the REST API and the doctl CLI.
