API Tokens

This page is used to manage the API tokens utilized by your REDCap users. The two drop-downs below will allow you to view either individual users or entire projects as a means of determining which users have API tokens, as well as be able to create a new API token for a user. Users that already have an API token for a specific project can have their token deleted or regenerated.

NOTE: Remember that tokens are specific to a single user for a single project. Thus a single project could have multiple tokens, and additionally an individual user could have several tokens, each pertaining to a different project.

Super API Tokens

You may grant users a Super API Token, which will allow them to create new REDCap projects via the API without any approval needed by a REDCap administrator. Super API Tokens are 64 characters in length (to differentiate them from regular 32-character-long project-level tokens). A user can only have one super token. When a user creates a new project with a Super API Token, it will provide them with their new project-level API token for the project, which is also given to them without any approval needed by an administrator. It is generally recommended that Super API Tokens only be granted to the most trusted users.
