What are the primary uses of OAuth clients, platform tokens, and classic access tokens in Dynatrace?

OAuth clients are used for accessing the account management APIs as well as platform services. Their primary use is in integration and automation scenarios. OAuth clients can only be created by Account admins.

Platform tokens are used to access the platform services with the user's privileges. They allow every user to consume the data he can access via the API.

Classic access tokens are used to access the v1 and v2 APIs of Dynatrace. They're not compatible with platform services.

  • OAuth Clients: Secure integrations with external apps via client credentials.
  • Platform Tokens: Long-lived tokens for interacting with platform services.
  • Classic Access Tokens: Used for API access, now mostly replaced by platform tokens.
