      description: 'You can manage your API tokens from the [Logz.io API tokens](https://app.logz.io/#/dashboard/settings/manage-tokens/api) page.


        API tokens are account-specific. You will need to be logged into the relevant Log Management or SIEM account to view the API tokens associated with it.


        To manage your API tokens, log into the relevant account in your Logz.io platform, click the gear in the top-right menu, and select [**Tools > Manage tokens > API tokens**](https://app.logz.io/#/dashboard/settings/manage-tokens/api).


        It''s important to keep your tokens secure. API tokens carry privileges to make changes to users and accounts, so if you believe an API token has been compromised, delete it, and replace it with a new token in your integrations.'
