how to pass the username in the url in order to generate the token for GET request

Ho @Rajat Roy ,

Please check the "Using the Bamboo REST APIs" section - https://developer.atlassian.com/server/bamboo/using-the-bamboo-rest-apis/

You will need to get your Personal Access Token from the UI. There's no way to get that via API.

@Rajat Roy 

It's for the current user you are requesting the token.

[Rajat Roy]

Yeah , we use OIDC , so service accounts cant login via the UI to generate tokens . So we were looking for an option to generate it for these accounts via some API .

Hello @Rajat Roy 

You can use the below to generate token for the service account, you need to have the credential details of the service account, otherwise it won't be possible.

User including Admins cannot generate PAT tokens for other users. Admin users can only revoke tokens of other users. 

curl --request POST \
--user serviceaccount_user_id:serviceaccount_password \
--url 'http:localhost:8085/rest/api/latest/access-token' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"name": "token name",
"permissions": [
"READ"
]
}'

@Rajat Roy  to add to @Shashank Kumar 's answer the valid values for permissions parameter are:

READ - The token will be allowed to read data from Bamboo.

TRIGGER - Allows the token to trigger builds and deployments.

USER - The token will have the same permissions as the service account.
