hello everyone, I'm always using a Token Based Authentication of a User with an Admin Role for my integrations to avoid any permissions issues. Is there big drawbacks to do that ? Will the Token always be usable ( it's not really clear if the Token has a time limit) ? thanks a lot.

so far there should be no limit limit if it is the OAuth 1.0 mechanism. If it is the OAUth 2.0 mechanism, you may refer to the OAuth 2.0 Authorization grant flow

In general, I find struggles with using admin role with token based authentication

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

ok thanks (still not 100% clear :slightly_smiling_face: ). i'll continue like this and keep you posted if more infos about it .

My professional suggestion is to not use administrator role for permissions

and instead create a new employee who's only purpose is the integrations and give it *only* what permissions it must have
