Enterprise Token Creation Process
Secure Token Generation
Enterprise Security: SettleMint's personal token creation process implements industry-standard security practices with role-based inheritance, audit logging, and organizational controls for production environments.
Personal Access Token Management
Navigate to your enterprise profile settings to create secure personal access tokens with role-based permissions for individual blockchain service access.
Access Personal Token Management
Click your profile picture or avatar in the upper right corner, then select Personal access tokens to access your enterprise token management interface.
Initialize Token Creation
Click "Add a personal access token" to open the secure token configuration form with enterprise security options.
Configure Token Parameters
- Token Name: Assign a descriptive identifier for personal tracking and enterprise audit purposes
- Expiration Policy: Set strategic expiration dates based on organizational security policies (non-modifiable after creation)
- Role Inheritance: Automatically inherits your organizational role permissions (admin or user)
Finalize Token Creation
Click Confirm to generate your enterprise-grade personal access token with cryptographic security and organizational audit trail integration.
Enterprise Security Protocol
Critical: Immediately copy and securely store your token using enterprise password management systems. This token provides individual user-level access and cannot be retrieved after creation.
Enterprise Token Revocation
Security Incident Response
Security Incident Response
Immediate Action: For compromised tokens or discontinued integrations, implement immediate revocation to prevent unauthorized access to enterprise blockchain services.
Access Personal Token Management
Navigate to your profile settings and select Personal access tokens to view all active authentication tokens.
Locate Target Token
Review your personal access token list and identify the token requiring revocation for security or operational reasons.
Execute Secure Deletion
Click Delete adjacent to the target token and confirm by typing DELETE to ensure intentional revocation with immediate effect.

Enterprise Token Strategy: Application vs Personal Access
Strategic Decision Framework
Enterprise Guidance
Strategic Recommendation: Application access tokens are optimal for production systems and automated processes, while personal access tokens excel for individual development workflows and user-specific integrations.
Application Access Tokens
- Production systems requiring 24/7 availability
- Automated processes independent of individual users
- Service continuity unaffected by personnel changes
- Granular scope control for enterprise security
- System-to-system authentication patterns
Personal Access Tokens
- Individual development and testing workflows
- User-specific integrations requiring personal accountability
- Role-based access inheriting organizational permissions
- Personal responsibility for credential management
- Simplified authentication for individual use cases
Enterprise Implementation Guidelines
Application Access Tokens Recommended
- Business Continuity: Tokens survive organizational changes and personnel transitions
- Service Reliability: Automated systems maintain consistent access regardless of user status
- Enterprise Security: Granular scope control enables zero-trust architecture
- Operational Efficiency: Reduced dependency on individual user accounts
Use Cases: Production APIs, automated workflows, system integrations, CI/CD pipelines
Personal Access Tokens Recommended
- Individual Accountability: Personal tokens enable user activity tracking and audit trails
- Development Flexibility: Inherit role-based permissions for appropriate access levels
- Simplified Management: Self-service token creation reduces administrative overhead
- Security Alignment: Automatic permission inheritance ensures compliance with organizational policies
Use Cases: Personal development, testing environments, prototype integrations, individual research
Enterprise Best Practice
- Production: Application access tokens for all automated systems and critical services
- Development: Personal access tokens for individual developer workflows and testing
- Governance: Clear policies defining when to use each token type
- Security: Regular auditing of both token types with organizational oversight
Benefits: Optimal security posture with operational flexibility and individual accountability
Enterprise Security
Key Consideration: Personal access tokens are immediately invalidated when users leave the organization, ensuring automatic security cleanup and preventing unauthorized access to enterprise blockchain services.
