Edit Token Dialog

The Edit Token dialog appears when you click the Edit Token icon on the Preferences page. It lets you edit an authorization token (that is, a JSON Web Token known as a JWT) used to authenticate calls to Code Insight REST APIs. The token is associated with the user account under which you are logged in or whose password you have changed in the Change Password fields on the Preferences page.

This dialog also allows you to copy the token value to the Clipboard so that you paste it whenever needed for Code Insight REST access (for example, when configuring the Code Insight plugins, importing or exporting project data, or running REST API directly).

The dialog has the following fields:
