Use the API access token to authenticate your Drupal site with Acquia DAM. You must generate this token in the Acquia DAM before you can complete the connection in Drupal.

Prerequisites

• You must have administrator access to the Acquia DAM.
• Decide which user account should own the token. This user’s permissions in Acquia DAM determine which assets are available to Drupal.

To generate the API access token:

1. Log in to the Acquia DAM as an administrator.
2. From the global dropdown, select Admin.
3. Select Global settings > API setup.
4. On the API Setup page, select New integration.

5. In the Integration Name field, enter a name for the integration.

   For example: DAM and Drupal integration.

6. In the Description field, enter a brief description for the integration.

   For example: This token is created for the example.com site.

7. Select Register.

   

   The API Setup page displays a row for the integration.

8. In the row for the integration, select Generate User Access Token.

   
9. In the Generate User Access Token dialog box, do the following:
   1. In the Email Address field, select your email address.

   2. Select Generate Token.

You use this token when you configure the Acquia DAM module in Drupal to authenticate your site with your Acquia DAM account.
