Your Profile

The Profile page provides an overview of your Portal identity, API tokens, and access to Compute and Kubernetes accounts.

Your Account

At the top of the profile page you'll find the following personal details:

  • User ID: Your unique identifier in the Portal.
  • Name: Your full name as provided by edu-ID.
  • Contact Email: Your contact email address as provided by edu-ID.

Important

Account details are synced from your edu-ID. To update your contact email address or other attributes, visit eduid.ch.

API Tokens

API tokens allow you to interact with the Portal API programmatically. Tokens inherit your access rights within the selected organisation and are ideal for scripting, automation, and third-party integrations.

You can view and manage all your tokens under the Portal API Tokens section.

Create a New API Token

  1. Click Create API Token.
  2. Provide the following information:
    • Organisation: Select the organisation for which this token will be scoped for.
    • Name: A unique and descriptive name for the token to easily identify its purpose.
    • Expiry: Select the token's validity period in days (maximum validity is 90 days).
  3. Click Create Token and copy the generated token.

Important

The token will be displayed only once immediately after creation. Make sure to copy and store it securely, as you won't be able to retrieve it later.

Token Table

Each token entry displays:

  • Token Name
  • Organisation: The organisation it grants access to.
  • Last Used: Date the token was last used (if applicable).
  • Expires: Time remaining before the token expires.
  • Actions: Option to delete the token.

Important

Token usage is tracked and expires automatically for security reasons.
