# Manage Access Tokens
Access tokens are used to import or export data from Domo. If you have an Admin default security role or a custom role with either the Manage All Company Settings or Manage All Access Tokens grant enabled, you can generate access tokens; otherwise, you need to request an access token from your Domo administrator. For more information about default security roles, see [Managing Custom Roles](/s/article/360043438973 "Security Role Reference").
**Important:** Access tokens are associated with specific user accounts and grant the same access as the user who generated the token. If the user's permissions change, the access token reflects that. You should not share your access tokens with others.
Follow these steps to generate an access token:
1. From the navigation header, select **More** > **Admin**.
The Admin Settings display.
2. Under **Authentication**, select **Access tokens**.
The **Manage access tokens** page displays.
3. Select **Generate access token**.
4. Specify the token information:
1. In the **Access token description** field, enter a name for the token. We recommend using a name that helps you understand the purpose of the token.
2. In the **Search users** field, select the user the token is for.
**Important:** The access token is associated with a specific user account. Users should *not* share the access token with others.
3. In the **Expire after** list, select the number of days/years before the token expires.
4. Select **Generate**.
5. Copy the access token, pasting it where you can use it later. The token does not display again after you leave the **Manage a ccess tokens** page.
Follow these steps to revoke an access token:
1. Navigate to the **Manage access tokens** page of the Authentication settings.
2. Locate the access token you want to revoke in the list of access tokens that have been issued. You can search by user name and token name.
3. Select **Revoke**. **Note:** There is no warning dialog after selecting **Revoke**. Make sure that you are revoking the correct token.
