# Team tokens API reference
4040

41-
Team API tokens grant access to a team's workspaces. Each team can have an API token that is not associated with a specific user. You can create and delete team tokens and list an organization's team tokens.
41+
Team API tokens grant access to a team's workspaces. Teams are not limited to a single token, and can have multiple, valid tokens at a time. Team tokens are not are not associated with a specific user.
42+
43+
Teams relying on the [**legacy**](/terraform/cloud-docs/api-docs/team-tokens#legacy-team-tokens-api-reference) team token API (`/teams/authentication-token`), can only have a **single**, valid token at a time. Generating a new legacy token revokes any previously existing tokens, replacing it with the new team token.
44+
45+
You can create and delete team tokens and list an organization's team tokens.
46+
47+

56+
57+

164+
| Status | Response | Reason |
165+

168+
| [404][] | [JSON API error object][] | Team not found. |

### Query parameters
171+
172+
This endpoint supports pagination [with standard URL query parameters](/terraform/cloud-docs/api-docs#query-parameters) and searching with the `q` parameter. Remember to percent-encode `[` as `%5B` and `]` as `%5D` if your tooling doesn't automatically encode URLs.
173+
174+
| Parameter | Description |
175+
|----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
176+
| `page[number]` | **Optional.** If omitted, the endpoint returns the first page. |
177+
| `page[size]` | **Optional.** If omitted, the endpoint returns 20 tokens per page. |
178+
| `q` | **Optional.** A search query string. You can search for a team authentication token using the team name. |
179+
| `sort` | **Optional.** Allows sorting the team tokens by `"created-by"`, `"expired-at"`, and `"last-used-at"`. Prepending a hyphen to the sort parameter reverses the order. If omitted, the default sort order ascending. |

API tokens may belong to a specific team. Team API tokens allow access to the workspaces that the team has access to, without being tied to any specific user.

27+
For teams relying on the [**legacy**](/terraform/cloud-docs/api-docs/team-tokens#legacy-team-tokens-api-reference) team token API, each team can only have **one** valid API token at a time. When a legacy team token is generated, the previous token immediately becomes invalid.

Owners and users with [manage teams](/terraform/cloud-docs/users-teams-organizations/permissions#manage-teams) permissions have the ability to enable and disable team token management for a team, which limits the actions that team members can take on a team token. Refer to [Allow Member Token Management](/terraform/cloud-docs/users-teams-organizations/permissions#allow-member-token-management) for more information.
