In this article we will review how users with different roles can create API token in Monday.com.
Personal API token is used for connection to Monday.com environment. Boards will be available for migration depending on the account permissions in Monday.com:
- All Boards of the Main type from all Workspaces, even if the connection account is not added as a member to the Board and Workspace;
- All Shared and Private Boards where the connection account is an Owner or added as a member.
Account with the Admin role is not required. API tokens of the following accounts can be used for connection:
1. Admin account (not required)
API Token can be generated and copied on the Administration page: Click on the Account icon, select Administration.
Open Connections -> Personal API Token page. Click on the ‘Generate’ button to create a personal API Token for your account and then copy it.
2. Activated user account with Member role
Only users with Admin permissions have Administration settings and can generate an API token there.
Users without Admin permissions can generate and copy a personal access token for migration in the Account -> Developers menu.
Select the API Token option, click Show, and then copy the token.
The API Token of an account with a Viewer (read-only) role cannot be used; the error message “Unable to complete request https://api.monday.com/v2/: 403 Forbidden” will be displayed when attempting to connect with the API Token created by a user with a Viewer role.
