# How-To: Create User Access Token

* **Workload-Specific**: Tokens created are specific to one user and one workload. Unassigned tokens can be linked to a workload later.
* **Expiration**: Tokens are valid for 30 days and must be renewed upon expiration.
* **Token Management**: After creation, tokens can be updated, or reassigned, or their status (active/cancelled) can be changed as needed.
