3.3 Generating an Access Token

You can generate an access token to access REST endpoints of Spatial Studio.

Spatial Studio supports two types of tokens:

• General-purpose token: Full access to all resources. The token grants read-only or read-write access as required.
• Streaming-only token: Access only to REST endpoints related to dataset streaming. Also, the token grants read-only access that be used only with HTTP GET methods.

To generate an access token:

1. Click on the top right corner of the page.
2. Click Access Tokens from the drop-down menu.
   The Access Tokens dialog opens and the existing tokens are displayed.
3. Click Create New Token.
   Create A New Access Token dialog opens as shown:

5. Enter the time Valid for (minutes) after which the token expires.
   If you specify -1, then Spatial Studio will never expire the token, unless you explicitly revoke it.
6. Select Resource type.
7. Optionally, select the Allowed action for granting access to a general-purpose token.
8. Click OK to create the token.
   The token gets created successfully.
