PAT
A personal access token: a secret string a user creates to let a script or AI assistant act as them. In ZopNight a PAT can never exceed its creator's current role, can be limited to chosen organisations and permissions, and can expire after a set time or never. Name each token clearly and rotate it like a password. Why it matters: Whoever holds the token gets its access, so unlabelled, never-expiring tokens are a standing risk.
