Select one of the following radio buttons to specify which type of external token to generate:

  • API Token: Selecting this option will allow you to generate an external token that can also be used for API authentication.
  • Custom Length: Selecting this option will allow you to set the length (ranging from 8 to 35 characters) of the external token that will be generated. If this option is selected, then the token cannot be used for API authentication.
