User Access Tokens Tab
The user access tokens tab is where you can add and delete user access tokens. Click Enable Access Tokens in the user access tokens interface to be able to add, delete, and use user access tokens.
A user access token is a unique and randomly-generated string which can be used to authenticate a user to DiveLine, similar to a password. Access tokens are revocable and can be set to automatically expire. Access tokens are useful for where the user doesn't want to store their actual password in a script or configuration file, such as in batch processing or systems integration.
Access token information is stored in DiveLine's dataroot/config/atlcfg.cfg file. Any change made in the user access tokens interface is also made in the atlcfg.cfg file.
NOTE:Once a user access token is created, it cannot be edited. The only way to change a user's access is to delete the user access token and create a new one.
