What are platform tokens?

[GosiaMurawska]

How do I use them?

[Jon2 · Accepted solution]

Platform tokens are user bound tokens that allow a user to interact with the platform services in the reigns of his permissions. They are intended to allow a user to interact with the Dynatrace API and to consume the data which he would normally see on the UI. 

Every user can create platform tokens in the account management portal:  My Platform Tokens | Account Management

Are these platform tokens meant to replace personal access tokens? Today we have some cases where a team may want to ingest logs but PATs don't have the available scope (logs.ingest) so we create a standard api token for this. Are platform tokens meant to be replacement here?
