Tokens

Tokens can be thought of as API Tokens. Tokens can be set with different roles that allow read-only tokens, tokens for management, and tokens for CEWL.

Some important considerations

API Tokens cannot be used to log in to the Portal interactively.

When a company is created, you usually have three tokens create:

  • Subscription token

  • Management token

  • Company Admin token

API Tokens are generated securely on the back-end. You cannot edit the API token.

 

Some useful links:

  • API documentation, please see below.

Token API

Please refer to swagger.ctci.ai for more details.

Select the menu option, API Tokens.

The API Token's icon is a lock.

An API Token can be created by clicking the icon with the plus sign. It should look like something below. Note: The Id is actually the API Token. It will create this securely on the back-end. You can never enter this API token.

The Id is actually the API token. The Save button is self-explanatory. The back button goes back to the list of API tokens.

The API Token

Company Name

You can leave this empty, and it will take your current company. If you are managing many Partner companies, you can set it to one of these companies.

Token Name

This is the name you would like to call your token. It is required

Note

This is a note for the token, and it is always handy to have a note to jog your memory, why this was created, and what systems/processes use this token.

Roles

This is what role the token will impersonate. No privilege escalation is allowed. You cannot create tokens for which you don’t have that role already.

Enabled

Whether the token is enabled or not

Filter Conditions

Future - to support the API token only allowing a certain search filter

Resource Permissions

Future - This will allow more granular access to columns and entities

Token Expiry

Future - This would allow you to expire a token after a certain amount of time.

How to Edit an API Token Entry

Go to the list of API Token entries by clicking on the Token Button, as mentioned in Figure 1.

Click on one of the entries.

Figure 4, Select an API Token entry to Show or Edit.

The next page shown will be the show page. It shows all the details. To Edit, you must select the edit page. The reason we do this is to stop accidental changes in the data. Most of the time, you will set and forget.

Token Name is required to be entered.

Delete an API Token entry

Two ways to do it. On the edit page, see the icon above in Figure 5, Choosing an API Token Entry, and in the list view, select the checkbox and scroll all the way right, and you will see a Delete icon. See Figure 6 below.
