Read access - a permission to receive information on open positions, orders and account balances. This option is enabled by default.

Spot - a permission for trading operations with Spot instruments.

Futures - a permission for trading operations with USDⓈ-M и COIN-M Futures.

If both Spot and Futures permissions are enabled, you will be able to use this API key for trading on all types of assets: Spot, USDⓈ-M и COIN-M Futures.
