How do I obtain an authentication token?

Overview

With an authentication token you can authenticate yourself against the REST API of metasfresh, which authorizes you to use the web service.

Steps

1. Open “User” from the menu.
2. Use the filter to find the entry of the user whose authentication token you want to view and open it.
3. Go to the record tab “Authentication Tokens” at the bottom of the page.

Add a new authentication token

If no authentication token is shown under the record tab “Authentication Tokens”, you can add a new one. To do so, please proceed as follows:

1. Click . An overlay window opens up.
2. Optional: Enter a Description.
3. Pick a Role to specify which permissions the token should be able to use.
4. Click “Done” to close the overlay window and add the token to the list.

   Note: Now you can use that token to access the API.
