Is there a way to change the secret code if I have to give it to someone to use? How can I generate a new one? Thanks! ---

What secret code are you referring to? The API bearer token, or…? ---

Thanks Darren, ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/f/3f26a2f324a70bdd500d584ee804d0d9e9af05f4.png) This copy secret token here. Under when you select a table under Show API. Does that help? ---

I don’t think we have an option to do that. ---

Is there any risk in sharing the secret code? I want to share it with a developer for use, but I’m concerned they might continue to have access to my database afterward. Is that true? ---

For development purposes, you could setup a test environment app, give them access to that for a proof of concept to see if they are capable of doing what you want them to do before giving access to your actual app. This is a complex question that needs thought and care on what you want this developer to do, and what they need the bearer token for. ---

Has to be two different teams as well I think, since that token looks to be on a team level. ---

Thank you! For now, I’ll create a new team to manage the access. I’m wondering if there might be an option to easily change or regenerate the secret code in the future. ---
