title: API Tokens
description: API tokens now carry a role that scopes what they can do - Admin, User, or Read-only.

API tokens under **Settings → Manage Tokens → API tokens** now carry a **role**, so a token can be scoped to what it actually needs rather than defaulting to full account access.

For creating and deleting tokens, and how each account type gets its own tokens, see [Manage API Tokens](https://docs.logz.io/docs/user-guide/admin/authentication-tokens/api-tokens/) — that part is unchanged. This page covers roles.

:::note
API token roles are rolling out gradually. If you don't see a **Role** column, it isn't enabled for your account yet — contact [Logz.io support](https://logz.io/support-page/).

## Roles

| Role | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **Admin** | Full access. The default for any token, including tokens created before roles existed. |
| **User** | Standard access. |
| **Read-only** | Read-only access — the one to reach for when a token only needs to pull data out, such as an export job or a read-only integration. |

Every token created here gets **Admin** by default, so if you want a scoped token, set the role explicitly rather than leaving it at the default.

## Set a token's role

Select the **Role** column on an existing token to change it, or set it while creating a new one.
