I would like to be able to attach a role to an API token rather than having to rebuild all the permissions directly on the token.

I was just about to create this same idea!

We have multiple FME Flow Apps that require the same set of permissions. Having to manage each App’s permissions individually is tedious and error prone. It would be really helpful to be able to assign an API Token to a role so that permissions could be managed in a central and consistent manner.

As of FME Flow 2026.1, Flow App API token dependencies are being removed and replaced by a tokenless model

So as long as the Owner of the Flow app, has those Role permissions, which it no doubt will… then this request is no longer relevant
