About your Authentication Token
Your Authentication Token is a unique identifier used to authenticate with the Stairwell API and Swell. Once you authenticate to the API, you can download files, add rules, list assets, list environments, create environments, or complete any other API-allowed interaction.
Authentication tokens are also used to allow your Stairwell forwarders to authenticate with your Stairwell instance.
For security reasons, please do not share authentication tokens.
