Introduction

The Mason CLI utilises 3 kinds of authentication, email and password, API token and SSH key. As a user, you will only need to worry about logging in with your email and password.

When you login, the CLI will obtain an API token. This API token is used to authenticate all of the Codemason API requests. You can view the API Tokens generated for your account in settings under the API tab.
