Typically, each node will have an independent path for each ssh key, i.e. `ssh_key_path`, in the `nodes` section, but if you have a SSH key that is able to access **all** hosts in your cluster configuration file, you can set the path to that ssh key at the top level. Otherwise, you would set the ssh key path in the [nodes]({{< baseurl >}}/rke/latest/en/config-options/nodes/).
