# Regenerate a user's calendar feed URL key

`POST /users/{id}/regenerate_private_url_key`

Regenerate the private URL key used to construct a user's personal iCal calendar feed URLs
(`http_cal_url` and `web_cal_url`). The old key is immediately invalidated; callers should
update any stored feed subscriptions with the new key.

A user may only regenerate their own key. Account admins may regenerate on behalf of any user.

The calendar feed URLs act as bearer credentials: anyone with the URL can read that user's
on-call calendar without further authentication. Rotate the key here whenever a URL may
have been exposed (for example, if it was shared outside the intended audience or if an
admin with `can_update_user` retrieved it via `GET /users/{id}?include[]=calendar_urls`).

Users are members of a PagerDuty account that have the ability to interact with Incidents and
other data on the account.
