Personal access tokens are used for authentication when using Coginiti API. These tokens are intended to access Coginiti resources on your behalf.
Personal access tokens are like passwords, and they share the same inherent security risks. You should keep your personal access tokens secure, do not store them as plain text, and do not expose them to other persons.
Creating a personal access token in Coginiti UI
1. Login into Coginiti Team / Enterprise application
2. In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile icon, then click API Keys.
3. In the left sidebar click "Add" button. This will create a new entry for your token.
4. Under Token name, enter a name for the token.
5. Optionally, under Description, add a note to describe the purpose of the token.
6. Under Expiration, select an expiration for the token.
7. (for admin accounts only) If you are logged in under an admin account, you also have the ability to select an owner of the token. The token will be generated for this user and will be accessing resources through the API on behalf of that user.
8. Click Save button.
Once you hit Save button your token will be displayed in a separate popup form. This is the single time when we are showing token to you. You will not be able to see it again. Please save it in a secure place and use it to access Coginiti API.
Deleting a personal access token
