Personal access tokens
A personal access token lets a tool such as Maven or Gradle use a CodeSoh product as you. The token is a password for command-line tools, and it acts with your account.
A token starts with cs_pat_. It's shown once, right after it's created, and can't be shown again.
Where tokens are created
You create a token in the product that uses it, where you also decide what it can access. For Artifex, see Tokens.
A token is limited in three ways:
- It works only with the product that it was created in.
- It can access only what you chose for it in that product, and never more than you can access yourself.
- It stops working when it expires or when you revoke it.
See and revoke your tokens
The Personal access tokens page lists every token you hold, across products, with its name, its product, when it was created, when it was last used, and when it expires. The token itself isn't listed.
To revoke a token, follow these steps:
- Go to Personal access tokens.
- In the row of the token, click Revoke.
- Click Revoke to confirm.
A revoked token stops working right away, and the tools that use it start failing to authenticate. Create a token in the product and update those tools.
Creating and revoking tokens appears in your activity.
