Hi,

I followed this tutorial:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/api-tokens-938839638.html?utm_source=alert-email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jira-conf-api-auth-vs-tokens_EML-4935&jobid=104098709&subid=944894384

and searched all over but couldn't find when this token expires or how to configure its expiration time.

Can someone assist ?

Thanks.

Hello Ohad,

Welcome to Community! It's nice to meet you.

When referring to the API tokens you generate for yourself, per the article you sent, there is no expiration date on those. You can destroy those when you don't want to use it anymore.

However, there's another token you can generate as an Organization Admin, if you're using managed accounts. Those expire after 7 days. Read more about them here:

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Regards,

Shannon

Hello @Shannon S

after the expiration of Organisation API key, is there any way I can get new api key (other than creating new api key), through any other API or through refresh tokens.
