Information

  • In this module, new tokens are generated or existing tokens are assigned to the web interfaces.

Procedure: generate a new token

  • Open the Manage API Tokens module. As a result, an empty record is already displayed for a new token.
  • Add a name or description in the Note field and save. The ID for the new token is generated automatically.
    • If the module is opened directly from the configuration of a web interface and a new token is generated, it is automatically assigned to the opened web interface. 
  • A token can be set to invalid by
    • manually deactivating the Valid checkbox or
    • specifying an expiration date in the up to field on which the Valid checkbox is automatically deactivated (controlled by an event). 

Procedure: assign a token to a new web interface

  • Open the Manage API Tokens module.
  • Right-click on a token and select Insert → API token assignment from the context menu.
  • Save. The assigned web interface is immediately visible below the token record.

Details

  • It is possible to assign a token to several web interfaces.
  • There can be several tokens for different groups of web interfaces.
  • It is, e.g., possible to generate a token and to use it for all Jira end points or all PLANTA pulse end points to establish a convenient connection to an external system.
