Create new API token

The administrator can create a new API token using a dialog with the following fields:

Name

Name is the title for this specific token. It should be selected well, according to the planned usage of this token, so it will be obvious what it is for.

User

User is one of the application users. All API actions performed with this token will be done under this user’s account.

After filing up and submitting the form with the Save button, a new token is created. It will be shown only once, right after the creation, in a popup dialog on the screen.

For security reasons it will never be possible to show this token again after closing this dialog. But in case of need, it is possible to create a new token by repeating this process and delete the old one.

IP ranges

The API token usage can be limited to enumerated IP ranges only. From addresses outside of the enumerated ranges, the API token will not work. If no range or address is listed, the access is not limited (allowed from any address).
