Enable API Access Tokens

For secure and flexible access to the REST APIs of the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta® platform, you can enable access tokens. Each request via API requires some form of authentication. By using API access tokens, you can ensure that transfer of authentication information is minimized and obscured, and you can control the lifespan of these tokens.

• For more information on all supported forms of authentication via API, see  https://api.trifacta.com/ee/7.1/index.html#section/Authentication

• For more information on how to use access tokens, see Manage API Access Tokens.
