warning

A technical user has one active token at a time. Issuing a new token revokes the current one. From the moment you click Issue, the module can no longer sign in with the old token. A session it had already opened is short-lived and may keep working for a few more minutes. The module works normally again only after you give it the new token.

The token is shown once​

The Technical token issued dialog shows the Raw token, its status and its Expires at date. The raw token appears only once: "Important: the raw token is shown only once. Copy it now and store it securely." Click Copy to put it on the clipboard, and keep it somewhere safe. After you click Close, nobody can see it again.
