NAME

grafana-util-access-service-account-token - Add or delete tokens for a Grafana service account.

SYNOPSIS

grafana-util access service-account token [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Add or delete tokens for a Grafana service account.

Create a new service-account token.
Delete an existing service-account token by service-account name or id.

BEFORE / AFTER

Before: service-account token work often happens ad hoc in the Grafana UI, with no easy way to repeat the same action in another environment.
After: token creation and cleanup become explicit CLI steps that can be reviewed, scripted, and repeated for the same service account.

COMMON OPTIONS

add: --service-account-id or --name, --token-name, --seconds-to-live, --json
delete: --service-account-id or --name, --token-name, --yes, --json

SUCCESS CRITERIA

token creation is tied to one named service account instead of relying on a manual UI lookup
token cleanup is deliberate and auditable, especially when you script deletion with --yes
automation can capture the JSON result when it needs to hand the token or delete confirmation to another step

FAILURE CHECKS

if token creation fails, confirm whether you targeted the right service account by --name or --service-account-id
if deletion looks like a no-op, recheck the token name and whether you are pointing at the correct Grafana org or environment
if you plan to pass the result into automation, use --json and validate the response shape before storing or forwarding it
