API Access
The API Access page allows you to generate and manage API tokens. These tokens enable secure integration of FortiDevSec data into your existing systems, and tools.
Note: Only the Master User has access to create API keys in the API Access page. IAM, IDP and sub users don't have the permission to create API key.
