# Get a Token

Create a personal access token for the [User](/api-reference/users.md) whose permissions and data access the API client requires. The complete token is shown only once during creation.

## Personal Access Token

Personal access tokens authenticate API requests as their associated user.

1. Sign in as the user for whom the token is created.
2. Open `/profil/oauth/` to access the OAuth configuration.
3. Select **Token erstellen** to open the creation form.
4. Enter a name for the token and select **Erstellen**.
5. Copy the generated token and store it securely.

The complete token cannot be displayed again after leaving the creation view.
