In order to connect to Unleash clients will need an API token to grant access. A client SDK will need to token with "client privileges", which allows them to fetch feature toggle configuration and post usage metics back.
|
|
|
|
## Create API Token {#create-api-token}
|
|
|
|
### Permissions {#permissions}
|
|
|
|
To create an API token you'll need the CREATE_API_TOKEN permission level, at the time of writing (v4.0.0), this level is only set for instance admins.
|
|
|
|
Eventually one should be able to customize which users has access to create tokens.
|
|
|
|
All users are able to see tokens with CLIENT level access, but only instance admins can see tokens with ADMIN level access.

**Admin operations**

|
|
|

Remember to give the key a username allowing you to recognize the key in audit logs later
|
|
|
|
5a. Copy the key in the `Secret` column and use it in your authorization header. For curl, that would be `-H "Authorization: <yoursecrethere>"`
