Using Flex Appliance Console accounts for API automation
Flex Appliance includes the following features that you can use to manage or monitor your appliances through API automation:
Personal API tokens
You can generate a personal API token for an account and use that token for API access. Each account can have a maximum of one personal API token, and you can revoke it or change the expiration at any time.
Service accounts
You can convert a regular user account to a service account that can only be used for API access. It does not have access to the Flex Appliance Console. A service account can have any number of tokens, but they cannot be revoked. The token expiration is determined by the maximum token validity that you set.
