I am new to nexus. We are running nexus 3. We are using nuget repos. nuget push is failing because the apikey cannot be found. Which makes sense because I never created it. I’ve searched the docs and can not find any info on how to set this. Can someone list the instructions?

I do have nx-apikey-all permission set for the user. Also NuGet-API-Key realm is active.

Hi! Please review [NuGet Repositories](https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/formats/nuget-repositories?_ga=2.14141303.1586152366.1560557523-302825400.1557876070#app)

You will see information on the sub category links on deploying packages and access your Nuget API key.

Cheers!

I had read that doc. Unfortunately it does not tell you how to get to the Access API Key button.

I did find the button though by clicking on my username next to the “sign out” icon. It can then be found in the lefthand pane.

I cannot find it either. The documentation assumes knowledge that I dont have. Please add screenshot.
