Generate and manage personal access tokens (PATs) to authenticate with the CloudBees Unify API. PATs are general-purpose API credentials that allow tools, scripts, and integrations to call CloudBees Unify APIs without exposing your account credentials.
| Personal access tokens function like passwords. Store them securely and never hardcode them in source code or configuration files. |
