+2I am new to FME Flow. My organization had setup a FME Flow 2024.2 and integrated SAML for user login.
I am just wondering whether I could use SAML account in FME Flow REST API and how to use it to generate a token for further REST API requests. Furthermore, is the generated token secure enough to prevent accessing other users’ resources, workspaces and data connections.
Thanks in advance,
Henry from TfNSW

For SAML users, I would think that they need to first login to the UI, then generate a token via https://<fmeflowurl>fmeserver/tokens/api.

+2Thanks hkingsbury for the clarification of the token security and its use case.
Could you please detail how to create a REST API token by the SAML user? I had tried both REST API V3 and V4 to generate the token, and only the system user account could generate the token via REST API, but failed by the SAML users.

+2Thanks hkingsbury, I could login to the FME Flow with SAML account and generate an api token. Then I could use this token in https://[fmeflowserver]/fmerest/v3/[action]?fmetoken= for further REST API actions.
