API to Generate/Manage Personal Access Tokens on Service Accounts (Enterprise Plan)

[dk82734]

Hi Airtable Team,

First off, I'm really enjoying the new Personal Access Tokens feature -- it makes it *much* easier to cross-check which external Make.com scenario is responsible for record/field level changes via the Record History view.  Great job!

Secondly, when juggling over 150+ Make.com scenarios that touch Airtable, it becomes non-trivial to manually create a new, unique Personal Access Token for each separate Make.com scenario.  Trust me, I *want* to do this because the audit logs are much *cleaner*, but I wish it was less *time consuming*.

Therefore, I'm looking for Airtable to provide an API that allows enterprise *administrators* to create new personal access tokens *at scale*.  That would solve a ton of friction for our engineering teams on their journey to migrate to Personal Access Tokens.

Happy to spell out this use-case further; thanks for your time.

You can’t create Personal Access Tokens en masse, but Airtable does give Enterprise users the ability to create Service Accounts, which keeps tokens separate from actual users:

@ScottWorld , that's precisely what I'm talking about.  In the Enterprise Service Accounts section, Airtable still calls them "Personal access tokens" (even though they aren't personal -- tied to a service account instead):

To be fair, we're in the process of creating 100s of tokens by hand, and I'd like for there to be an API to automate token creation/management for tokens tied to service accounts, accordingly.

Hope that helps clarify.
