• Operator token: A system-generated administrative token with the name _admin.

  • Cannot be edited or deleted
  • Never expires
  • Cannot be recreated if lost (future functionality)
  • Can be regenerated using the CLI

• Named admin token: User-defined administrative tokens with full admin permissions.
