Get Personal OAuth Token (using GlideOAuthClient)

Check whether the user has a personal OAuth token. Use it to confirm valid access before running REST steps or integrations that require personal OAuth credentials.

Role required: oauth_admin

About this task

Use the GlideOAuthClient API to check if a personal OAuth token exists for the currently logged-in user. You can also use ScopedPersonalAuthAPI to get the personal OAuth token. For more information, see PersonalAuthAPI - Scoped.

Procedure

  1. Use the following sample script to check for a personal access token associated with the current session user:

    function dumpToken(token) {
      if (token) {
        gs.info("Access token: " + token.getAccessToken());
        gs.info("Expires in: " + token.getExpiresIn());
        gs.info("Refresh token: " + token.getRefreshToken());
      }
    }
    
    var oAuthClient = new sn_auth.GlideOAuthClient();
    oAuthClient.setPersonal(true); // Returns the token for the logged-in user
    
    var token = oAuthClient.getToken('<credential_sys_id>', '<oauth_profile_sys_id>');
    dumpToken(token);
    
  2. Replace <credential_sys_id> and <oauth_profile_sys_id> with the appropriate record values.

    The setPersonal(true) method confirms that the token returned belongs to the currently logged-in user.

    Note: For more information on the methods for requesting and revoking OAuth refresh and access tokens, see: Glide OAuth Client API Documentation.
