Silverback Connector

Create Token 

To create a token, you must have an existing system user with an Administrator role. When you have a system user you want to allow API for,  perform the following steps:

  • Log in to the Silverback console with Administrator credentials
  • Navigate to Admin
  • Navigate to User Management
  • Click the Edit option for the user you want to add the API token for, keeping in mind the user must belong to the “Administrator” role to use the API.
  • Scroll down to the Create API Token section.
  • Enable all Scope Permissions and enter a description.

The description has no technical affect on the token, and is used to help you keep track of your tokens.

  • Click Create and wait until the process has finished. It can be last up to a minute.
  • Click Save
  • Go back to your User and check your new token
  • Copy the token into your clipboard
