# Tokens

Access to your organization's channels requires specific tooling to enable authentication. These tools can be used to issue and/or set access tokens, and help distinguish yourself from other users in the Anaconda ecosystem.

There are two types of access tokens your organization can use:

* **Individual access tokens**: Your individual access token provides access to use packages from your organization's channels. Each user in an organization has a unique access token, unless the organization is using a [site token](/anaconda-platform/cloud/admin/site-token) for access.

* **Site token**: A site token is an access token that is *used by the entire organization*. This one token can authenticate any organization member. Site tokens are provided to users by organization administrators.

  <Note>
    You do not need to be assigned a seat if your organization is using a site token.
  </Note>

## Issuing and setting your token

<Warning>
  You must be [assigned a seat](/anaconda-platform/cloud/admin/members#assigning-organization-seats) within your organization to issue yourself a token. If you have not been assigned a seat, speak with your organization administrator.
</Warning>

Your organization access token grants conda access to your organization's channels and packages. To issue and set your token, run the following command:

```sh theme={null}
anaconda token install
```

<Note>
  If you belong to more than one organization, you are prompted to select which organization to issue a token for.
</Note>

## Reissuing a token

You can reissue a token using `anaconda-auth` or from your Anaconda.com organization.

<Warning>
  Reissuing a token invalidates your previously issued token.
</Warning>

    1. Open Anaconda Prompt (Terminal on macOS/Linux).
    2. Issue and set a new token:

       ```sh theme={null}
       anaconda token install
       ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Anaconda.com">
    1. [Navigate to your Organizations page](https://anaconda.com/app/profile/organizations).
    2. Under Org Management, select <Icon icon="key" iconType="regular" /> **Token Access**.
    3. Click <Icon icon="key" iconType="solid" /> **Reissue token**. Your new token displays until copied. An automated email containing your new token is also delivered to the email address associated with your Anaconda account.

    <Note>
      After copying your new token, run `anaconda token install <TOKEN>` to set it.
    </Note>
  </Tab>

<Note>
  All newly issued tokens are set to expire when your organization's subscription expires.
</Note>

## Synchronizing your token

Tokens have a lifespan that is tied to your organization's subscription, and expire either 30 days after the organization's subscription has ended or immediately if the subscription has been cancelled.

*Renewing your subscription does not automatically extend the lifespan of your token.*

If you've renewed your subscription and want to retain your current token, synchronize your token to extend its lifespan to your organization's new subscription expiration date.

To synchronize your token:

1. Go to your organization's page.
2. Under Org Management, select <Icon icon="key" iconType="regular" /> **Token Access**.
3. Click <Icon icon="arrows-rotate" iconType="solid" /> **Sync token**.

## Viewing tokens

To view the tokens installed on your system, run the following command:

```sh theme={null}
anaconda token list
```
