Admins can create tokens for working with the AQtive Guard API. There are two token types available, with each corresponding to a specific user role and associated privileges:

• Uploader token - Authenticates uploads of data generated using an AQtive Guard sensor or supported external file format.
• Admin token - Grants full administrator privileges for configuring data sources and automation using the AQG API.

Refer to Assigning user roles for more information about user roles and privileges.

Important Security Considerations↑

Sharing Admin tokens poses a significant security risk to your AQtive Guard configuration and data. Admin tokens provide unrestricted access to your account, allowing the holder to:

• Create and modify configurations.
• Set up automation.
• Access sensitive data.

To maintain the security and integrity of your AQtive Guard account:

• Protect all tokens as confidential.
• Only share Admin tokens with trusted administrators who have a legitimate need for full access.
• Ensure that all tokens are properly managed and revoked when no longer needed.

Create an API token↑

To create an AQG API token:

1. Log in to AQtive Guard as an administrator.
2. In Settings, select Create Uploader token or Create Admin token.
3. Copy and securely save the token before closing the page.
