Will more fine grained API token scopes available?
Currently there are only two scopes for the API tokens, read-only and read-write, but this tokens are extremely dangerous as they affect all the resources in the account without restrictions. For example, create a million droplets or delete all of them.
It would be more desirable to have more control over the scope by choosing the resources it will operate on, i.e. droplets, volumes, floating IPs, etc. And a quota to limit their blast radius in the case of a security incident.
Are we getting something like this anytime?

Any update on this ‘old’ post about restricting API token?
I notice the uservoice site is no longer available.
I’d like to ask the same questions as @CloudClam - seems like fine-grained API tokens are an industry standard by now, and it seems quite dangerous to keen any tokens in the wild that are very binary (you either get everything or nothing).
I found this post while looking for more fine-grained scopes. I want to use an API key to update a DNS record, and the thought of the same key being able to do everything makes me uneasy. Honestly I was surprised to see scopes limited to just
readandwriteas I usually feel Digital Ocean’s services are full-featured and modern. Hopefully more fine-grained scopes are considered soon.
