Available options depend on your version, permissions and hardware. For missing actions, see Security and Diagnostics.
Step by step
- Use a role appropriate to the action.
- In System > Security create a labeled read-only service token, copy it once and keep it private.
- Enable remote access, then follow code-based linking in the Alexa app.
Options explained
- Viewer
- read. Operator: flow operation/backups read. Designer: also author/publish flows. Admin: devices, integrations, secrets and restoration.
- Panel API tokens
- read-only; inspect label, usage and revoke. Plaintext is shown once.
- Revoke
- stops the client using that token; replace when appropriate.
- Alexa
- requires skill, pairing code and working remote access, not just a token.
- Network/console administration
- requires host capabilities and permission; not public access.
Troubleshooting
For denied access, check role/session and least necessary privileges. Do not grant wider access instead of investigating faults.
