The *Tokens *section allows you to create and manage NATS Proxy, REST API keys, and API access accounts.

# NATS Proxy

NATS Proxy allows you to set up a data connection with multiple Litmus Edge instances. It also allows a data connection with a Litmus Edge instance and another developer application.  

## NATS Proxy Use Cases

 Consider the following use cases for using NATS Proxy:

- Set up a connection with two Litmus Edge instances. Data in one instance will be sent through a NATS connector, which allows the data to be received and visualized in the other instance. 
- Set up a connection with three or more Litmus Edge instances. Data in one instance will be sent through a NATS connector, which allows the data to be received and visualized in multiple other instances. 
- Set up a connection with one Litmus Edge instance and an external developer application. Data in the instance will be sent through a NATS connector, and the developer application is properly set up as a NATS client to subscribe to NATS data and receive it.

Review the how-to guide to [Set Up Edge Cascading with the NATS Connector](docId\:A8jVFAOPqRiNyZRoqic9y). 

# API Credentials

:::hint{type="info"}
**Note**: This feature is only available on the Scale plan. 
:::

This section allows users to create, edit, remove and validate API credentials for API access. 

You have the option to create an API Key or OAuth 2.0 client credentials. 

To make requests and updates using a REST API endpoint, you need to use curl from the command line or a GUI-based software like Postman. See [Test REST API using Postman or Curl](docId\:wPUzB54DcZDCm-rSMyeCD). 

# Access Accounts

This section allows users to create new accounts, enable or disable accounts and modify topics, view the API key, reset the account and remove the account.

# Access Tokens UI

From the Litmus Edge navigation menu, navigate to **System **> **Access Control **> **Tokens**.
