The CLI will utilize the profile set as 'default' during its creation. If you establish a new set of credentials and mark it as 'default', the previous settings will no longer serve as the default. To modify specific settings, you can either use the appropriate environment variable or apply a command-line parameter. ### Creating a profile from an API Token 1. Choose the token that you want to use to access the panel through the CLI, if you don't have a token then [click here](https://beta.cyphor.net/account/access-tokens) 2. You can store the token with the command `cyphor cli auth add NAME VALUE` Example: `cyphor cli auth add desktop ZpGsX0HXbrvPJ2KVu6yT9kp3dicl3um7xX6lbejx` * This will store the profile `desktop`with the value `ZpGsX0HXbrvPJ2KVu6yT9kp3dicl3um7xX6lbejx` * Now, instead of specifying the literal token, you can use desktop instead. * Tokens are local and aren't shared between organization members. ### Local storage Your keys and secrets are stored in a local folder managed by the CLI, using IDataProtectionProvider (reference to docs). However, we provide flexibility to tailor the data protection mechanism to fit your specific security needs. ### --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
