REST API tokens verifiedimportantWritten by the Hub
Creates the bearer tokens that authorise the REST API — the only way to get one.
In detail
A token is a name and a 251-character string, with an enabled flag that revokes it without deleting it. The table is empty after installation, so a freshly installed node has an API nothing can use until somebody opens this screen — which is also the reason the console tends to stay reachable on nodes that should have closed it. The name matters more than it looks: it travels into the delivery result of every message submitted with that token, so tokens are how a node tells our traffic apart from a customer's.
