Create a short-lived bearer token for a parent user on a specific child account. In the context of the API, a parent user on a child account is referred to as a "proxy user." When Akamai provisions your parent-child account environment, a proxy user is automatically set in the child account. It follows a specific naming convention:
<Parent account company name>_<SHA256 hash of parent company name and child account euuId>
📘
These variables only use the first 15 and 16 characters of these values, respectively.
The token lets a parent account run API operations through the proxy user, as if they are a child user in the child account.
These points apply to the use of this operation:
To create a token, a parent account user needs the child_account_access grant. This lets them use the proxy user on the child account. You can run List a user's grants on a parent account user to check its child_account_access setting. To add this access, you can update the parent account user.
The created token inherits the permissions of the proxy user. It will never have less.
The API returns the raw token in the response. You can't get it again, so be sure to store it.
Run this operation and store the token that's created for the proxy user.
As a parent account user with access to the proxy user in the child account, use this token to authenticate API operations, as if you were a child user.
