Workflow for Using Access Tokens

On the Manage Access Tokens page, users can request an access token with a limited expiration from FlexNet Operations. The page returns an access token which is a hexadecimal string with an rna_ prefix.

When firing requests to a FlexNet Operations API (REST or SOAP), this token must be added to the authentication header of the API request with the word Bearer followed by the token string.

The access token not only authenticates the requester but also defines the permissions of how the requester can use the API.
