Scoped API tokens
The administrators managing policies and groups in Cloudflare Access might be different from the users responsible for configuring WAF custom rules or other Cloudflare settings. Cloudflare Access supports scoped API tokens so that team members and automated systems can manage settings specific to Access without having permission to modify other configurations in Cloudflare.
