  4. Once you generate an access token for a user, the Generate action is replaced with the Remove action shown below.
    Because access tokens are encrypted, you can give your token a more common one that is easy to remember. To do so, select the Manage task and the Token Management > Access Token subtask as shown below.

Enter the access Token ID provided in the Access Token field. In the Name field, enter a common and easy to remember name. You can use this common name when creating a map to move data from one application to another.

To view a user’s access token, access the User page by selecting the Manage task and the User Management subtask. The access token access key is provided as shown below.
