Overview

Personal Access Tokens allow users to invoke Web Service APIs by authenticating with a token rather than using their credentials (username and password). Additionally, it provides access to Web Service APIs for users provisioned through Single Sign-On, rather than locally provisioned, or provisioned through LDAP synchronization.

Creating a Personal Access Token

Step 1	On the User task bar, click the User Actions drop-down list arrow to display a menu of user actions.
Step 2	Click Edit Profile. The User Details dialog pops up.
Step 3	At the bottom of the dialog window is the Personal Access Tokens section. Enter an application/token name, optionally specify an expiration, then click Generate.
Step 4	Copy the token immediately as there is no way to retrieve it again once the user details form is refreshed. Copy the token by selecting the text manually and using Ctrl+C, or by clicking the icon next to the displayed token.
