Generate a Security Token

Security tokens allow you to authenticate integrations such as your IDE or CI tooling.

To generate the security tokens, follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to your instance's URL, for example, https://app.codescan.io/ for US region, https://app-eu.codescan.io/ for EU region or https://app-aus.codescan.io/ for AUS region.

2. Click on My Account at the top right of your screen to generate the tokens.

3. CodeScan supports two types of security tokens - User and Project tokens:

   

   Generally, user's User token gives you full rights to the instance. A Project token gives you only right to run an analysis on the specific project it was generated for.

   Select the type according to your needs.

4. Next, click on Security tab.

4. Name your token and click Generate. The tokens page appears.

5. The token you generate can only be viewed once after generation. Be sure to store it somewhere secure (such as a password manager) or add separate tokens for each integration to avoid problems in the future.
