How to download the private key

In order to record or approve an analysis or run an approved one, it is nessecary to first download and store the analyst key from the platform.

These steps only need to be performed in the authorized environment

1. After logging in, go to Settings > Account on the top-right corner and find the key pair section.

2. Click on the "Generate key pair" button.

Afterwards, your private key (SK-file) will start downloading to your computer. As an analyst, the default location to store it (and make it accessible in your scripts) is at  ~/.config/crandas (Max/Linux) or %userprofile%/.config/crandas (Windows)

The private key can be used as an analyst to record analyses and run approved ones, and as an approver to approve analyses. Note that it can be downloaded only once, so please keep it safe. Also, the private key should never be shared with anyone.
