Add and Manage Access Tokens

The section titled Access tokens is located at the bottom of the Organization > Roles page. 

Access tokens are alphanumeric strings that authenticate an app to connect and integrate with your organization. Note that tokens do not have expiration dates. To revoke access, use the Remove access token command.

Access tokens can be used by organizations to generate authorization tokens that provide access to the Public API of the DBL.

The Public API provides organizations with access to data like content items, license agreements, and license templates. For full details, visit the API documentation by clicking this link: Public API documentation.

To add an access token to your organization, click on the Generate token button. 

A window will be displayed titled, “Generate new access token.” Please enter a token name, and assign the permission (or permissions) for the access token.

After you click on the Generate token button, the token information will be generated. This token information is only displayed once on this screen, so it is very important for you to copy the token and secret key into a secured document for future usage. Click the Close button when done.

Manage Access Tokens

To manage an access token, click on the corresponding Edit link.

Here’s what an Edit screen looks like:

Remove access token
