### How to grant permissions to the users to generate access tokens?
|
|
|
|
A system admin has to grant permissions to the users for the user to create access tokens. If you're a system admin, follow the steps mentioned below.
|
|
|
|
1. Click on your username on the top left corner and select 'System Console' from the dropdown list.
|
|
2. Click on ***Integration Management*** under the ***INTEGRATIONS*** section on the left sidebar.
|
|
3. Go to Integration Management.
|
|
4. Scroll down to the ***Enable Personal Access Tokens*** and enable personal access tokens.
|
|
5. Click on the ***Save*** button.
|
|
6. Click on ***Users*** under the ***USER MANAGEMENT*** section on the left sidebar.
|
|
7. Personal access tokens are generated for individual users, so they must be enabled for each user. Click on ***Member*** next to the user you want to grant permission to, and select 'Manage Roles' from the dropdown list.
|
|
8. Check the ***Allow this account to generate personal access tokens*** checkbox.
|
|
9. Select any additional permissions you want to grant the user and click on the ***Save*** button.
|

**Note:** You may also create a bot account and apply the same for it.
