Access keys are used to authenticate an application publishing events to Azure Event Grid resources (topics and domains). We recommend regenerating your keys regularly and storing them securely. You're provided with two access keys so that you can maintain connections using one key while regenerating the other.
This article describes how to get access keys for an Event Grid resource (topic or domain) using Azure portal, PowerShell, or CLI.
In the Azure portal, switch to Access keys tab of the Event Grid Topic or Event Grid Domain page for your topic or domain.
