Personal tokens

Personal tokens provide Cortex users with a way to access data and edit entities and Scorecards.

Similar to API keys, you can use personal tokens to make calls through API endpoints. Permissions for personal tokens directly mirror your own user permissions.

If you attempt to make a call through endpoints not within your user permissions, this will result in a 403 error.
