‍Overview:

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) credentials allow Organization Administrators to create and manage machine tokens from the Solsta Desktop Application.

These credentials can be used for:

• CI/CD deployments
• Authenticating the Solsta CLI for automated installs or updates on unattended machines

‍Note: Note that once the machines are created, they must be assigned a role for an object or be assigned to a team in order to access objects for installs or deployments.

‍

The Manage Roles and Permissions article covers object-level permissions in more details.
