What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?
Please allow users/admins to create standing API tokens to make automation of tasks within Netwrix via the API simpler.
Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.
The ability to grant a standing API token from within the platform would greatly reduce the overhead involved in creating automations revolving around the Netwrix platform. Currently, if you want to create an automation, you would need to create a new user (eating a license), and handle the login flow in your script to get a valid token which can become complicated when dealing with external identity providers. Giving customers the ability to create a standing API token will remove the requirement of dealing with the authentication flow and will greatly reduce the friction of interacting with the API.
How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?
Currently, to avoid dealing with complicated authentication flows involving external identity providers, the easiest method of getting an API key for your session is to simply login to the web portal, open dev tools, and copy your token out. This has drawbacks as this token is rotating rather frequently, causing you to consistently keep a web page open refreshing your token.
