# Service Creation Access Check

> Verify that an API key has permission to create services.

Verify that an API key has `services:write` access. The `admin:full` scope also satisfies this check.

Read [Verify API Access](/api/verify-api-access) to choose the correct check and follow the recommended verification sequence.
