If you're using JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) for authentication with HelpDocs, we've got a neat little tool called JWT Studio that can make your life a whole lot easier.
With JWT Studio, you can create and validate JWTs right from our dashboard—no more mucking around with complicated code or third-party tools.
Let's dive in and see how it works!
Creating a JWT
- Head to Settings > Users > Access
- Scroll down to JWT, then click ⋮ More > Create/validate JWTs
- Optional: Assign your new JWT a Permission Group
- Set an expiry date for the token
- Click Create JWT
- Voila! Your new token is ready to go 🎉
Remember the expiry date you set is crucial—you don't want your tokens hanging around forever and potentially getting into the wrong hands 🕵️
Validating a JWT
Maybe you've got an existing JWT that you need to check the details on. No problem! JWT Studio's got your back there too. Here's how to find it:
- Head to Settings > Users > Access
- Scroll down to JWT, then click ⋮ More > Create/validate JWTs
- Click Go to Validator
- Paste your JWT into the field and hit Validate
- JWT Studio will break down the token and check its validity and any issues 💖
