# Tokens

This page allows you to define authentication tokens that can be later used to call APIs or \
use the various clients (thin client, dockerized client, container scanner, etc..).

You can setup a token with an expiration (which is recommended) or not. At any point in time you can revoke the token so that it won't be usable anymore. It's a good policy to assign tokens to each different consumer.
