        Note that this creates *non-admin* tokens that may then be assigned permissions via policies just like users or teams (unless you have already created policies that encompass all tokens using `tokens:*``).


        You cannot create admin tokens via the REST API.

        Admin tokens can only be created by specifying the `--admin` flag to this chef-automate sub-command:

        chef-automate iam token create --admin`
