Create the token from the Account Tokens section, not Project Tokens — an Account Token can access every project and is required for account-scoped actions. The token inherits the role and permissions of the signed-in user. The Token Secret is shown only once and cannot be retrieved after you dismiss the confirmation.

Create an Account API Token in Smartling
