Adding an Access Token for a User
An access token is required when you copy an app from an other Mobile Administrator instance. See also Adding an App from Another Mobile Administrator Instance.
When accessing Mobile Administrator through the REST API, a user can authenticate with the user name and password. If you require more control or do not want to give out the password (for example, when running a build node), API access can be granted by creating an access token for the user. Any API access that is authenticated using an access token has the same permissions as the user to whom the access token is attached. For more information, see the following guide: webMethods Mobile Administrator API Reference.
Access tokens can be limited to be valid only until a specific date or for a limited number of uses. They can be removed at any time.
To add an access token for a user
1. Click and then Users.
2. On the All Users page, click the user entry.
3. Click New Token (located at the bottom of the page).
4. Optional. Specify the following information:

Description
Valid Until
By default, there is no restriction as to the time range in which an access token is valid.
If you want to restrict the validity, clear the Unlimited check box and then define the date and time until when this access token is valid.
Remaining Uses
By default, there is no restriction as to how often an access token can be used.
If you want to restrict the usage, clear the Unlimited check box and then define the number of remaining uses. The number of remaining uses will then be decreased each time the access token is used.

The comment cannot be changed once the token has been created.
