# Manage session keys

### 1 - Create a Session Key

{% hint style="info" %}
When using a **Permissionless account** configured like in section **Setup Smart Account Client**, you have to skip the **Safe 7579** module installation step. 

This is unnecessary because the **Permissionless flow automatically handles module installation** during Smart Account creation via the ERC-7579 Launchpad. Including this step may lead to redundant or conflicting behavior.
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="SDK Core" %}

```typescript
import type { Address, PublicClient } from "viem";
import { generatePrivateKey, privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import {
    erc7579Actions,
    smartSessionActions,
    type SafeSigner,
} from "@cometh/session-keys";
import { isSmartAccountDeployed } from "permissionless";

export const COUNTER_CONTRACT_ADDRESS =
    "0x4FbF9EE4B2AF774D4617eAb027ac2901a41a7b5F";


const safe7559Account = smartAccountClient.extend(smartSessionActions())
            .extend(erc7579Actions());

const privateKey = generatePrivateKey();
const sessionOwner = privateKeyToAccount(privateKey);

 if (!(await isSmartAccountDeployed(
     safe7559Account?.account?.client as PublicClient, 
     safe7559Account?.account?.address as Address,
 ))) {
     safe7559Account.addSafe7579Module()
 }
        
const createSessionsResponse = await safe7559Account.grantPermission({
    sessionRequestedInfo: [
        {
            sessionPublicKey: sessionOwner.address,
            actionPoliciesInfo: [
                {
                    contractAddress: COUNTER_CONTRACT_ADDRESS,
                    functionSelector: toFunctionSelector(
                        "function count()"
                    ) as Hex,
                },
            ],
        },
    ],
});

await safe7559Account.waitForUserOperationReceipt({
    hash: createSessionsResponse.userOpHash,
});

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Permissionless" %}

```typescript
import type { Address, PublicClient } from "viem";
import { generatePrivateKey, privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import {
    erc7579Actions,
    smartSessionActions,
    type SafeSigner,
} from "@cometh/session-keys";
import { isSmartAccountDeployed } from "permissionless";

export const COUNTER_CONTRACT_ADDRESS =
    "0x4FbF9EE4B2AF774D4617eAb027ac2901a41a7b5F";


const safe7559Account = smartAccountClient.extend(smartSessionActions())
            .extend(erc7579Actions());

const privateKey = generatePrivateKey();
const sessionOwner = privateKeyToAccount(privateKey);
        
const createSessionsResponse = await safe7559Account.grantPermission({
    sessionRequestedInfo: [
        {
            sessionPublicKey: sessionOwner.address,
            actionPoliciesInfo: [
                {
                    contractAddress: COUNTER_CONTRACT_ADDRESS,
                    functionSelector: toFunctionSelector(
                        "function count()"
                    ) as Hex,
                },
            ],
        },
    ],
});

await safe7559Account.waitForUserOperationReceipt({
    hash: createSessionsResponse.userOpHash,
});

```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### 2 - Store the Session Key

In our example, we will store the session key details in local storage. You are free to store it wherever you want.

<pre class="language-typescript"><code class="lang-typescript">import { SmartSessionMode } from "@cometh/session-keys";
<strong>
</strong><strong>const sessionData = {
</strong>    granter: safe7559Account?.account?.address as Address,
    privateKey: privateKey,
    sessionPublicKey: sessionOwner.address,
    description: `Session to increment a counter`,
    moduleData: {
        permissionIds: createSessionsResponse.permissionIds,
        action: createSessionsResponse.action,
        mode: SmartSessionMode.USE,
        sessions: createSessionsResponse.sessions,
    },
};

// This is for example purposes.
const sessionParams = stringify(sessionData);

localStorage.setItem(
    `session-key-${safe7559Account?.account?.address}`,
    sessionParams
);
</code></pre>

### 3 - Use the Session Key

    `session-key-${WALLETADDRESS}`

const sessionData = parse(stringifiedSessionData);

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cometh.io/sdk-session-keys/manage-session-keys.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
