Migrating from Legacy API Keys
Section titled “Migrating from Legacy API Keys”Previously, access was granted via personal developer API keys.
Why move to Auth Tokens?
Section titled “Why move to Auth Tokens?”- Auth Tokens are more secure and rotate-friendly.
- Admins can manage licenses without the user needing to change configurations.
- Users authenticate once with the token; the license is linked automatically.
Migration Process
Section titled “Migration Process”- Go to the Workspace Members list.
- Assign a license to a user.
- Ask the user to switch their config to use an Auth Token (available in the Auth Tokens page).
- Remove the legacy API key once the Auth Token is in use.
Deprecation Notice
Section titled “Deprecation Notice”Legacy API keys are still supported for now, but will be phased out over the coming months. We recommend migrating to licenses and Auth Tokens as soon as possible.
