You need Organization Owner or Admin access in Mixpanel to create service accounts.

​
Create a Service Account

Create a service account in your Mixpanel organization to authenticate API requests.

1

Navigate to Service Accounts

Sign in to your Mixpanel account.

  • Click the Settings icon (gear) at the bottom of the left sidebar.
  • Select Organization Settings.
  • In the left sidebar, click Service Accounts.
2

Create a new Service Account

Click Add Service Account to create new credentials.

  • Enter a descriptive name for the service account.
  • Select the Organization Role based on your requirements (Admin recommended for full API access).
  • Click Create.
3

Copy your credentials

After creation, copy the Username and Secret and store them securely for use later.

  • The secret is only shown once during creation — save it before closing the dialog.

Your Project ID uniquely identifies your Mixpanel project for API requests.

  • You can verify your project’s region in Organization Settings > Projects under the Data Residency field.
