  credential_types:
  - name: Bearer token (JWT)
    prefix: 'Bearer '
    description: A short-lived JSON Web Token generated after you log into Xenon; it serves as an

  - name: Organizational token
    prefix: 'Token '
    description: Preferred authentication method for any production application; meant for
      backend-to-backend integrations, tied to a Xenon account, permissions set as any subset of
      the account's policy groups. Created via POST /account/tokens; the token string is returned
      only once. By default the token has no permissions unless groups are supplied.
    create_operation: POST /account/tokens
    rotate_operation: POST /account/tokens/{tokenID}/rotate
    expiry: optional expiresAt; docs strongly recommend setting an expiry date and rotating frequently
  - name: Personal token
    prefix: 'Token '
    description: Convenience tool for developers testing locally; permissions always identical to
      those of the user that created it.
permissions:
  model: Xenon policy groups; operations declare required permission names (e.g. SystemsRead,
    AssetWrite, WebhooksWrite) as scope lists on the HeaderAuth apiKey scheme in the OpenAPI.
  creating_tokens_requires:
  - AccountTokenWrite
  - AccountsUsersWrite (to set policy groups on an organizational token)
  note: These are platform permissions, not OAuth 2.0 scopes; the API declares no oauth2
    securityScheme.
