Okta API tokens must be created under new dedicated user accounts.
Description
Discussion Text
An access token is a piece of data that represents the authorization granted to a user or NPE to access specific systems or information resources. Access tokens enable controlled access to services and resources. Properly managing the lifecycle of access tokens, including their issuance, validation, and revocation, is crucial to maintaining confidentiality of data and systems. Restricting token validity to a specific audience, e.g., an application or security domain, and restricting token validity lifetimes are important practices. Access tokens are revoked or invalidated if they are compromised, lost, or are no longer needed to mitigate the risks associated with stolen or misused tokens.
When API tokens are created, they inherit the permissions of the user that created them. Therefore, API tokens should only be created from dedicated accounts and permissions must be constrained to least privilege for that dedicated user account and token.
No API tokens should be created using a Super Admin account.
