API token permissions

Each personal token can only do actions that the user can do in the UI. For example, if a user cannot access a particular private board, the API token will not be able to access that data either. This extends to any column, item, or account permissions that apply to a user.

  4. Click "Connections" on the left side of the admin page.

  2. Click on your avatar in the top right corner.

  3. Select "Developers."

  4. Click "Developer" and then "My Access Tokens" at the top.
