Generating an access token for the API

Access tokens are used to authenticate to a team via the mambo EMM API. Access tokens are team-specific, and cannot be used against other teams.

To generate an access token,

1. In the mambo EMM console, go to Developers > Access tokens
2. Click Add token
3. In the Access token modal, fill in the relevant details and set appropriate access to the token
4. Click Add
5. A new token will be added to the Access token list, and the token can be copied for use with the API

Warning: Access tokens grant potentially unlimited access to your mambo EMM Team. We offer granular access rights per-token to assist in limiting the scope of any one token to a particular use case and strongly recommend time is spent to review and set permissions as desired.

For testing purposes, a fully-scoped token may be used, and new tokens later swapped in with fewer permissions. However you choose to go about managing your tokens, you must keep them safe. We recommend a password manager or similar for storing secrets, preferably with auditable access/use logs.
