API Token

With Vertec version 6.6, API tokens for Web API access to Vertec were introduced (Vertec xml extension and BI API ). Authentication via username and password, as was common in the past, was disabled with Vertec Version 6.7 .

Generate API Token

API tokens can be generated on a user’s More Info page:

With a click on the button Generieren… the API token is generated and shown in the corresponding field:

This must be copied immediately, because it will no longer be shown the next time the page is called. Instead of the token, the following text is shown and the token can only be deleted:

If the token is deleted, it can no longer be used, and instead of Löschen… Buttons is the button again Generieren… available.

Delete all API tokens

Users with administrator rights can view the generated API tokens of all users in the settings menu using the option Alle API Tokens löschen... delete at once:

At first, a warning query appears, which asks again whether all API tokens should be deleted.

User rights

The API Token section on the Editor’s More Info page is only shown if the logged-in user has Administrative Rights or has write rights to Projektbarbeiter.ApiToken is granted.
