04/25/2019, 12:32 PMcorrect, I was referring to the one from Users / Roles > Access Tokens > New.. thanks @battk. I'm assuming that TBA is then only recommended if the integration will run for one user only? if it's intended for 100 users, then one shall go with the Basic Authentication?

04/25/2019, 12:35 PMTBA authentication has 2 parts to it

battk
04/25/2019, 12:37 PMneither supports suitescript
battk
04/25/2019, 12:39 PMtypically an integration uses 1 user's access token to interact with NetSuite, its unusual to need or even want an integration to use 100 different logins

04/25/2019, 12:42 PMsorry let me rephrase that.. we are trying to build an app wherein the credentials used will be the current users' log in.. we're not going to authenticate via a special user. that's why I asked if it's possible to generate it programatically as we don't want to do it via Admin. well, at least I'm familiar now with the usual set up, sorry for the confusion. thanks for your help, @battk!

04/25/2019, 12:51 PMif you can convince the user to giveup their credentials, you can use the token endpoint to generate tokens
