Mist Self API Token API

Like many other API providers, it's also possible to generate API Tokens to be used (in HTTP Header) for authentication. An API token ties to a Admin with equal or less privileges. **Notes:** * an API token generated for a specific admin has the same privilege as the user * an API token will be automatically removed if not used for > 90 days * SSO admins cannot generate these API tokens. Refer [Org level API tokens](/#operations/createOrgApiToken) which can have privileges of a specific Org/Site for more information.
