Manage the Access Token of a User

Starting with VMware Cloud Director 10.3.1, you can generate and issue API access tokens. Administrators with the Manage all users' API tokens right can view and revoke the access tokens of the other tenant users in the organization.

Access tokens are artifacts that client applications use to make API requests on behalf of a user. Applications need access tokens for authentication. When an access token expires, to obtain access tokens, applications can use API tokens. API tokens do not expire.

For more information about generating and issuing API access tokens, see Generate an API Access Token.
