        Create Access Token


        Article summary

        Available in Classic and VPC

        Create an access token. To create a token, you must have a token generator set up.

        Caution
        • The token possesses all the permissions of the key held by the user who requested its creation.
        • Token generators do not manage the tokens they generate, so they can't be destroyed individually. Therefore, it is crucial to take extra precautions to prevent token leakage.
