Create an access token for a user

POST /v1/users/:username/tokens

note

Token Creation Scope: Through the API, you can only create tokens for:
- Your own user account
- Service accounts within your organization
- Admins cannot create tokens for other non-service-account members through the API
For service account token creation, ensure you are using an Admin token for authentication. The token generated by this call will be the service account's own token for its operations.
- For detailed guidance on service account token creation and best practices, see Service Accounts Guide - Step 2.
- If a new service account is created through the admin API, make sure to connect to this service account manually with a read/write token before using read scaling tokens.
Each token is tied to a specific user - make sure to use the exact username that was specified during service account creation in the path /v1/users/:username/tokens.
If the optional ttl parameter is not specified, the access token will remain valid indefinitely until revoked by an administrator.
