Atmos Cloud API: Generate Token

The Atmos Cloud API allows administrators to do the following:

• Create users or groups
• Update users or groups
• Delete users or groups
• Request a list of users or groups in the system, including the relations between them.
• (Limited Release) Upload a personal authentication key for SSH servers. Edit an SSH application and select “Use Axis IdP personal private key” to connect users with the key.

For Example: Use groups to manage access to applications. You can create a group of users in a certain policy that grants access to an application. Adding a user to this group provides access to the application, and removing a user from the group revokes the access.
