Service account token authentication in OnCall API

We’re excited to introduce service account token authentication for the OnCall API. With this change, you can now generate tokens to interact with the API so that they:

  • Aren’t tied to any specific user.
  • Can be enabled or disabled as needed.
  • Can be set to optionally expire at a given time.
  • Can be scoped to a specific set of permissions for more granular control.

In addition, this update allows us to extend the Terraform provider to support this authentication method in the OnCall client. This lets you to configure and manage your Grafana stack, including OnCall resources, all without needing to create an OnCall-specific API token, which simplifies automation and enhances security.
