The Access Token Lifespan is a global setting that controls how long an issued access token stays valid before a user or service must re-authenticate. By default, access tokens expire after 90 minutes.
You must be an Account Admin to view or change global settings.

​
Change the Access Token Lifespan

  1. Click your profile in the top-right corner, then select Admin Configuration.
  1. In Admin Configuration, select the Global Settings tab.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of Global Settings to find the Access Token Lifespan field. Enter a value and choose a Unit from the dropdown. Available units are Seconds, Minutes, and Hours.
  1. Click Save in the bottom-right of the page.
The lifespan must fall within a valid range: 1 minute to 24 hours. The field help text reads: “How long issued access tokens stay valid: 1 minute to 24 hours”.
Choosing a lifespan is a security tradeoff. Shorter lifespans are more secure but require users and service accounts to re-authenticate more often. Longer lifespans are more convenient but increase exposure if a token is compromised.
