Using Access Tokens
You can generate and rotate access tokens to grant access to external applications. External applications are a collection of private apps and identity apps you can use for single sign-on. Private apps give you a powerful, secure way to make API calls to your account.
To generate access tokens, your security role must have API access enabled.
To Access External App Tokens:
- Login to the portal.
- On the upper right of the page, click your name and then click My Settings.
- Click the My External Apps tab.
The following page displays all provisioned access tokens.
- To create a new access token, click New Private App. Then fill in the following settings:
- Application: Enter a name for the private app.
- Description: Optionally enter a description for the token.
- Click Save.
Once the token is created, you can view and copy the access token. You can also edit the name and description of the token. You can also revoke token access and choose to expire the current token and generate a new token.
- To view the access token, click the dropdown action button next to the app and then click View Access Token.
- To edit the private app's name and description, click dropdown action button next to the app and then click Edit. Make your changes and then click Save.
- To revoke access to the token and delete the app, click the dropdown action button next to the app and click Revoke. In the dialog window, click Revoke.
- To expire the current access token and generate a new token, click the dropdown action button next to the app and click Rotate and Expire this token. In the dialog window, click Rotate. The old access token will be revoked and a new access token will be generated. You can view the access token to update the token credentials in your external app.
