You can execute Commvault REST API requests by inserting an access token in a Bearer Token header. You can use access tokens as an alternative to token-based authentication via the Authtoken request header.
You can create an access token in the Command Center and use it to execute API requests.
Tip
You can create separate user accounts that have specific security roles and permissions to serve as service accounts. Use these service accounts instead of your Active Directory (AD) or SAML user account to generate access tokens and execute API requests. This practice ensures that the API integration remains consistent, even during changes to user accounts or organizational structure.
If you are an administrator, you can modify or delete access tokens of other users in the Command Center.
Note
You cannot create an access token for another user.
