Managing Authorization Tokens

Code Insight uses a JSON Web Token (JWT) to authorize user access to the Code Insight public REST API interface (see the previous section, Accessing Code Insight Server REST API Documentation). Code Insight enables you to generate and manage one or more of these authorization tokens.

An authorization token is for use by the Code Insight user account that creates it. Thus, an authorization token that your user account generates will give you REST access to only the Code Insight functionality for which your account has permissions. Additionally, you can view and manage only those authorization tokens for the user account under which you are logged in.

Authorization tokens are created and managed from Preferences page, as described in the following procedures:

• Accessing the Preferences Page

• Generating an Authorization Token

• Copying the Authorization Token to the Clipboard

• Editing the Token Name

• Deleting an Authorization Token
