Connect with an API token

  1. In Beyond Identity:

    1. Sign in to the Beyond Identity Admin Console for your region (console-us.beyondidentity.com or console-eu.beyondidentity.com).
    2. Under Apps, select Beyond Identity Management API.
    3. Select the API Tokens tab and click Create token.
    4. Enter a Name, reduce the Scopes to only the read access Safeguard needs, and click Create token.

    Where to find the other values:

    • Region: The console you sign in to: console-us.beyondidentity.com is US, console-eu.beyondidentity.com is EU.

    Beyond Identity's public documentation does not cover every step.

    The fetched pages do not say how to copy the token, whether it is shown only once, which scope grants read access to identities, or where to find the Tenant ID and Realm Id in the console.

Safeguard's automated tests read Beyond Identity and map to the controls below. When a test passes, the result is evidence toward each control it maps to, in every framework listed. It is evidence toward a control, not proof that the control is met on its own.
