## About deploy keys
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.repositories.deploy-keys %}
|
|
|
|
Deploy keys can either be set up using the following API endpoints, or by using the {% data variables.product.company_short %} web interface. To learn how to set deploy keys up in the web interface, see [AUTOTITLE](/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/managing-deploy-keys).
|
|
|
|
{% ifversion deploy-keys-enterprise-org-policy %}
|
|
|
|
You may be unable to create deploy keys if your organization or enterprise owner has set a policy to restrict their use. Furthermore, if this policy is enabled at the organization or enterprise level, existing deploy keys may be disabled. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/admin/policies/enforcing-policies-for-your-enterprise/enforcing-repository-management-policies-in-your-enterprise#enforcing-a-policy-for-deploy-keys) and [AUTOTITLE](/organizations/managing-organization-settings/restricting-deploy-keys-in-your-organization).

{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
There are a few cases when a deploy key will be deleted by other activity:
|
|
|
|
* If the deploy key is created with a {% data variables.product.pat_generic %}, deleting the {% data variables.product.pat_generic %} will also delete the deploy key. Regenerating the {% data variables.product.pat_generic %} will not delete the deploy key.
|
|
* If the deploy key is created with an {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_app %} token, revoking the token will also delete the deploy key.
|
|
|
|
Conversely, these activities will not delete a deploy key:
|
|
|
|
* If the deploy key is created with a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} user access token, revoking the token will not delete the deploy key.
|
|
* If the deploy key is created with a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} installation access token, uninstalling or deleting the app will not delete the deploy key.
|
|
* If the deploy key is created with a {% data variables.product.pat_generic %}, regenerating the {% data variables.product.pat_generic %} will not delete the deploy key.
