Managing API Tokens
Overview
OverviewThis article explains how to view, update, and delete API Tokens.
Managing API Tokens
Update API Token
Updating an API Token lets you change its expiration time and generate a new token.
Updating a token invalidates the previous one. Any services that use this token must be updated to the new value to continue working.
Click the Update icon on the right side of the API Token to update.
Click the Expiration dropdown menu.
Select the number of days you want the API Token to be valid for.
Updated Token Expirtation
When you update an API Token, the expiration countdown restarts from the update date, not from the token’s original creation date. For example, if you create an API token on the 1st of the month with a 7-day expiration and update it on the 4th with another 7-day expiration, the token will expire on the 11th.
Token Expiration
Once an API Token expires, any services using the token will be unable to access Flosum's API. For services that require continuous access, such as an SSO Identity Provider, select No expiration.
Click Update.
Once updated, the API Token will be displayed.
Click the Copy icon to copy the token and then save it securely. You won't be able to view it again.
Click Close.
Delete API Token
An API Token can be deleted at any time to revoke access to Flosum's API for that token.
Deleting an API token revokes access for all services using it. This action cannot be undone.
Click the Trash Can icon on the right side of the API Token to delete.
Click Confirm in the delete API Token confirmation dialog.
Once deleted, all services using the API Token will no longer have access to Flosum's API.
