How Do I Obtain a Token with Security Administrator Permissions?

Permissions of a token are determined by permissions of the user who obtains the token. Only users who have been assigned the Security Administrator role can obtain a token with Security Administrator permissions.

Methods

  • Account administrator: Create an IAM user, assign the Security Administrator role to the user, and then call the API used to obtain a user token. The obtained token has the Security Administrator permissions.
  • IAM user: Request the administrator to assign you the Security Administrator role, and then obtain a token.
