Account owned tokens are the first step that Cloudflare is taking to represent service principals in our service.

Cloudflare is working to ensure that all features eventually become compatible with account owned tokens.

If you are working with a service that is not currently supported by account owned tokens, it is recommended that you continue to use the existing user tokens.
7+
While user tokens act on behalf of a particular user, and inherit a subset of that user's permissions, account owned tokens allow you to set up durable integrations that can act as service principals, effectively acting as themselves with their own specific set of permissions. This approach is ideal for scenarios like CI/CD, or building integrations with external services like SEIMs where it's important that the integration keeps working, even long after the user who configured the integration may have left your organization altogether. User tokens are better for ad hoc tasks like scripting, where acting as the user is ideal, and durability is less of a concern.

17+
4. Click **Create Token**
18+
5. Navigate through the subsequent pages to set the name, permissions, and the (optional) expiration date for the token. Click **Continue to Summary**

Try using account owned tokens specifically in these scenarios:
22-
23-
- You require business continuity when managing tokens as a team of super administrators.
24-
- You need to restrict API access on your account and want to centralize visibility and management of these tokens.
21+
You can alternatively create a token using the [account owned token creation API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api-next/resources/accounts/subresources/tokens/methods/create/).
