Access Tokens

Overview

Access Tokens allow you to programmatically interact with Sifflet objects through the:

• API
• CLI
• Airflow operators

Creating an Access Token

1. Go to Settings > Access Tokens.
2. Click the New Access Token button.
3. Give your Access Token a name.
4. Choose the role for your Access Token.
5. (Optional) Select the domains you want this token to apply to, and assign a domain role for each domain (Viewer, Editor, Monitor Responder, Catalog Editor, etc.).
   • You can combine multiple domains with different roles in a single token.
   • Only admins can configure domain-level scopes.
6. Click the Generate button.
7. Click the Copy Access Token button to copy your token.
   • ⚠️ The token is only displayed once in the application, so make sure to store it securely.
8. Click the Done button.

Access Token Validity

By default, Access Tokens are valid for 24 months. You can optionally set a custom expiration period (in days, weeks, or months) when creating a token.

Once an Access Token reaches its expiration date:

• Sifflet automatically disables the token
• You can no longer edit or extend it
• You must replace it with a new token to restore access

Expired tokens remain visible until you delete them.

Deleting Access Tokens

To delete an Access Token:

• Hover over the Access Token you are looking to delete
• Click the overflow menu at the far right end of the Access Token row
• Click the Delete button

Alternatively, you can delete one, several or all Access Tokens simultaneously:

• Select one, several or all Access Tokens using the checkboxes on the far left end of the Access Token row
• Click the Delete button at the top of the Access Tokens list

Search Through Access Tokens

You can search Access Tokens by name.

Sort Access Tokens

You can sort Access Tokens by any column:

• Name
• Expiration date
• Created
• Last used
• (Token) role
• Created by

For all the above dimensions, you can decide to sort Access Tokens in an ascending or descending order.
