Create a Client API token

StackOne authenticates with a Glean-issued Client API token. Creating one needs administrative access to the Glean Admin Console, and GLOBAL tokens can only be created by a Super Admin.

1

Open Client API Token Settings

Sign in to the Glean Admin Console, go to Platform then Client API Token Settings, and click Add New Token.

2

Configure the token

Complete the token form, then create the token.

  • Description, a name that identifies what the token is used for
  • Permissions, USER for a token bound to a single person, or GLOBAL for a token that can act as any user
  • Scopes, the API scopes the token may use. They cannot be changed after creation
  • Expires, an optional expiry date
  • User Email, required for USER tokens, and it sets the person the token acts as
3

Copy the token

Copy the token secret as soon as it is created. Glean shows it only once and it cannot be retrieved later.

​
Fill in the connection fields

Enter the token and instance details in StackOne Hub.

  • API Token, the token secret you copied
  • Instance Name, the part of your Glean backend host before -be.glean.com. For a backend host of acme-prod-be.glean.com the instance is acme-prod
  • Act As Email, only for GLOBAL tokens. Set it to the email of the user the token should act as, and leave it empty for USER tokens
