Personal access token

Normally, access tokens require admin rights to generate. With personal access tokens, however, you can generate a token for API usage without admin rights. Available scopes are bound to your permissions, meaning that you can only use the API counterparts of features you're already authorized to use. You're also limited to the data from management zones you have access to.

A personal access token is bound to you. You can't generate a personal access token for another user.

Enable personal access tokens

Admin rights are required to enable this feature. After it's enabled, any user can generate a personal access token.

To enable personal access tokens

In the Dynatrace menu, go to Settings and select Integration > Access tokens.
Turn on Enable personal access tokens.

Generate personal access tokens

To generate a personal access token

Open the user menu in the upper-right corner of the Dynatrace web UI and select Personal access tokens.
Select Generate new token.
Enter a name for your token.
Dynatrace doesn't enforce unique token names. You can create multiple tokens with the same name. Be sure to provide a meaningful name for each token you generate. Proper naming helps you to efficiently manage your tokens and perhaps delete them when they're no longer needed.
Select the required scopes for the token.
Select Generate token.
Copy the generated token to the clipboard. Store the token in a password manager for future use.
You can only access your token once upon creation. You can't reveal it afterward.
