Manage Authentication Tokens

Last modified: 09 October 2024

Hub lets users create a range of authentication tokens that they use in turn to log in to Hub and connected services through external client applications. These authentication variables are shown on the Account Security tab for each user account.

  • Permanent tokens let developers access and perform operations securely using REST API calls in their scripts and applications without having to implement more complicated OAuth 2.0 authentication flows.

  • Application passwords give an app or device permission to access a Hub account. Users who have enabled 2FA can generate these passwords to log into third-party applications that don't support the second factor for logging in.

  • Refresh tokens are automatically generated by Hub for connected services that support OAuth 2.0 authentication.

  • Approved scopes are automatically defined by services that are connected to Hub. The access token that is issued to the client service is limited to the granted scope services.

As an administrator, you can view and manage the collection of authentication tokens that are available to other users in Hub.
