Access Tokens

What are Access Tokens?

Access tokens provide external access to you Dynatrace environment. The two types of tokens that grant access to the Dynatrace API are API tokens and Personal access tokens.

Options

  • API Tokens

    Used to authenticate various API calls

  • Personal Access Tokens

    Generate a token for API usage without admin rights

    Only use the API counterparts of features and management zones you already have access to

    Token is bound to you
