Tokens
A token is a unique access code that allows other people to use specific PILOT features without receiving the account credentials.
You can create two types of tokens on the Tokens tab:
-
Monitor token — provides access to the location of selected objects through a public link
-
Access token — allows a user to sign in to PILOT without entering a password
A Monitor token provides another person with access to a map showing selected objects and their movements. The recipient does not receive the account login, password, or full access to the account.
Permissions for managing Monitor tokens
The following permissions are used to manage Monitor tokens:
-
Edit Tokens — allows users to create and edit Monitor tokens and share-location links
-
Delete Tokens — allows users to delete Monitor tokens
To allow a regular user to create or edit a share-location link in the PILOT web application, an administrator or master must grant the Edit Tokens permission. To allow the user to delete these links, grant the Delete Tokens permission as well.

An Access token can have a limited validity period or remain valid indefinitely.
