Manage resource tokens in your {{< product-name >}} instance.
Resource tokens grant fine-grained permissions on resources, such as databases
and system information endpoints in your {{< product-name >}} instance.
  
- **Databases**: Database tokens allow for actions like writing and querying data.

- **System resources**: System information tokens allow read access to server runtime statistics and health.
  Access controls for system information API endpoints help prevent information leaks and attacks (such as DoS).
