This tab is only visible for Company Administrators, User Administrators and Machine User Administrators.
The Machine users tab displays the following information about all machine users of this company:
- Name and description of the machine user.
- Number of user groups and partitions the machine user has access to.
These functions are available:
- Create: Opens dialog to create a machine user.
- More: Renew client secret key, Generate token, Edit or Delete the machine user.
If a machine user is deleted, all apps using the machine user stop working.
Token
The token is required to grant the machine user access to an API. Per machine user, a maximum of 20 tokens per calendar day (UTC) is granted. Once this limit is reached, new tokens cannot be generated. One token is valid for 24 hours and can be used multiple times during that time. If you need a higher limit of tokens per day, contact your local Siemens representative.
Client secret key
The client secret key is a password for the machine user. Together with the client ID, the client secret key grants the machine user access to the app. If the client secret key is renewed, all apps using the old key stop working.
