title: How to create API Tokens
---

Depending on your [permissions](../reference/api-tokens-and-client-tokens#api-token-permissions), you can create API tokens in the Unleash Admin UI in three ways:
- **Admin > API access**: for client or frontend tokens; requires the Admin root role, or a custom root role with API token permissions.
- **Settings > API access** inside a project: for project-specific client or frontend tokens; permitted for project Members or users with a [corresponding root role](../reference/api-tokens-and-client-tokens#api-token-permissions).
- **Profile > View profile settings > Personal API tokens**: for personal access tokens.
