Question
When developing a Google Maps or Recaptcha implementation, you can sign up for a free API key using
However, in a large company, you don't want to tie these keys to a developer's gmail account.
Does anyone have suggestions or best practices how Google API Keys should be managed on an organizational level? Who owns them?
Solution
Create a gmail account at the group/organization level and use that for the API key.
You may also want to look at Google Maps Premier API which is more suited for enterprise usage.
