Normally, access tokens require admin rights to generate. With personal access tokens, however, you can generate a token for API usage without admin rights. Available scopes are not pre-filtered based on your user permissions. Instead, your permissions are checked whenever you use your personal access token to authorize a request. You're also limited to the data from management zones you have access to.
A personal access token is bound to you. You can't generate a personal access token for another user.
Enable personal access tokens
Admin rights are required to enable this feature. After it's enabled, any user can generate a personal access token.
To enable personal access tokens
Go to Settings and select Integration > Access tokens.
Turn on Enable personal access tokens.
Generate personal access tokens
To generate a personal access token
Go to Personal Access Tokens (accessible via the user menu in the previous Dynatrace).
Select Generate new token.
Enter a name for your token.
Dynatrace doesn't enforce unique token names. You can create multiple tokens with the same name. Be sure to provide a meaningful name for each token you generate. Proper naming helps you to efficiently manage your tokens and perhaps delete them when they're no longer needed.
Select the required scopes for the token.
Select Generate token.
Copy the generated token to the clipboard. Store the token in a password manager for future use.
You can only access your token once upon creation. You can't reveal it afterward.
