API Tokens

Most EKM REST APIs require an API token to authorize the request.

Token permissions

Tokens can be given READ or READ/WRITE permission. READ permission allows only GET requests, while READ/WRITE permission also allows PUT/POST/DELETE.

Token privileges

There are three privilege levels: OWNER, GROUP, and ADMIN. OWNER privilege allows request for objects owned by the account assigned to the token when it is created. GROUP privilege allows requests for objects owned by any account, but usually also requires passing the owning key. ADMIN privilege allows access to admin objects.
