+Enabling API access
+-------------------
+
+To allow API access to your UpCloud account, you first need to enable the API 
+permissions by visiting `My Account -> User accounts`_ in your UpCloud Control 
+Panel. We recommend you to set up a sub-account specifically for the API usage 
+with its own username and password, as it allows you to assign specific permissions 
+for increased security.
+
+Click **Add user** and fill in the required details, and check the 
+“**Allow API connections**” checkbox to enable API for the user. You can also 
+limit the API connections to a specific IP address or address range for additional 
+security. Once you are done entering the user information, hit the **Save** button 
+at the bottom of the page to create the new username.
