Tokens screen allows you to manage tokens. You can add new tokens and remove them if necessary.
There are two types of tokens:
- Runtime REST token – used to authorize calls made to the Higson Runtime REST interface.
- Studio token – used to authorize API calls in Higson Studio, only for the import and upload snapshot endpoints (access to all other endpoints in Studio is authorized using an Access token).
All tokens are automatically deleted after their expiration date. For security reasons, it is recommended to set a short validity period for tokens. If necessary, tokens can also be manually deleted before they expire.
To access the tokens screen, select Tools in Main Toolbar and select Licences and tokens.
Then select Tokens tab.
After you enter Tokens you will see the list of all tokens:
| No. | Column name | Description |

| 1. | Checkbox | Checkbox allows you to select all tokens. |

| 3. | Type | Type of token. |
| 4. | User | User to whom the token is assigned. |
| 5. | Expiration | Token validity period date. |
| 6. | Actions | List of quick access actions. Currently, only the Remove action is available here. The Remove action deletes the desired license. |
