## Manage Automation account keys

When you create an Automation account, Azure generates two 512-bit automation account access keys for that account. These keys are shared access keys which are used as registration keys for registering [DSC nodes](/azure/automation/automation-dsc-onboarding#use-dsc-metaconfiguration-to-register-hybrid-machines) as well as [Windows](/azure/automation/automation-windows-hrw-install#manual-deployment) and [Linux](/azure/automation/automation-linux-hrw-install#manually-run-powershell-commands) Hybrid runbook workers. These keys are only used while registering DSC nodes and Hybrid workers. Existing machines configured as DSC nodes or hybrid workers won’t be affected after rotation of these keys.
