Creating an API Token

Clumio uses bearer tokens as an authentication scheme for the REST APIs. Clumio provides two types of tokens:

1. Personal token: Any user with the right role can create this token.
2. Service tokens: Only admin users can create these types of tokens.

How to Create Personal Token:

1. Go to Settings -> Access Management -> API Tokens.
2. From the ‘Personal Token’ section create a token. 
   1. If the token is already created and the user doesn't have access to it, then the user can refresh the token to generate a new token. 

How to Create Service Tokens:

1. Go to Settings -> Access Management -> API Tokens.
2. From the ‘Service Token’ section, click on Generate and provide the required information:
   1. Organization Units(OUs): Provide the OU for which the user wants to create a token. Users can select global OU too.
   2. Role: Select the role of this service token. To know more about the role description, go to the ‘Role’ tab from the same ‘Access Management’ page.

Clumio recommends that users not share their personal API token with others.
