    2. Configure the user information as desired. Click Next.
    3. Add Console Administrator as the user role. Click Next.
    4. Skip the Details page. Click Next.
    5. In the Settings page, for Authentication, select Certificates.
    6. In the Certificate Password field, configure the desired password. Click Save.
  2. After Workspace ONE creates the user, select the user from the admin user list and go to the Settings page. Export the certificate by providing the password that you defined.
    1. Create the API key on the Workspace ONE console:
      1. On the Workspace ONE UEM console, go to Groups & Settings > All Settings > System > Advanced > API > REST API.
