Access tokens

In NeoLoad Web, access tokens can be created to:

  • Configure the preferences of NeoLoad Web in NeoLoad GUI in one click.

  • Connect external tools -such as NeoLoad- to your NeoLoad Web current account.

    One of the best practice is to create an access token for each tool to be connected to your NeoLoad Web account. Thus, as soon as you want to stop the connection with the external tool, you simply have to delete the token in your NeoLoad Web account.

  • Get an access to the secure NeoLoad public API.

Note: The rights associated with the access tokens of a user are linked to his Account and Role. For more information, see Roles.

Note: The Guest user role can generate access tokens. Although this user role is not allowed to run a test, it can perform read-only operations on the NeoLoad public API. For more information, see Roles.
