Generating User API Tokens

How LSC admins create a user's API token, the five-token limit, and how to let other admin roles manage tokens.

Written by Quinn Bott

LSC Administrators can generate an API token from a user profile for use with the Boostlingo API. This feature is only available to LSC administrators. If you're an LSC admin and don't see this option, contact your Account Manager to enable it.

Generate an API token

  1. Navigate to a user's profile viewer and open the "API Tokens" section in their details panel.

  2. Select "Generate API Token".

  3. In the "Create an API Token" dialog, enter a "Label" describing the token's purpose, then select "Create".

  4. Your token generates automatically. Select "Copy" to use it. Please note the only time you will be able to access the token's contents is when you see this screen, immediately after creating it.

  5. The token now appears in the token list with its created date, last-accessed date, and an option to "Revoke" it.

Note: You can have at most five active tokens per user.

Reviewing Existing Tokens

LSC admins can view and revoke any user's API Tokens at Configuration>Company>API Tokens.

Grant access to other LSC admin roles

By default, only Root LSC Admins can use this feature. To grant another LSC admin role access, set the "API Tokens" permission to "Manage" in that role's settings.
