# Generate auth URL

# Generate personal auth initiator URL {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated November 5, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Generate the initial token for a user who doesn't have access to the credentials page to configure personal authentication.

## Before you begin

Role required: connection_admin, oauth_admin

## About this task

Users without the connection_admin role can't access the Credentials page to generate OAuth tokens. These users must generate a personal token using the `oauth_initiator` URL with
an additional parameter that indicates that the token is personal and requested for the session user.  
You can also use the scoped `PersonalAuthAPI` with the `sn_personal_auth` plugin to generate the initiator URL. For more information, see [PersonalAuthAPI - getInitiatorURL(String aliasId)](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=PersonalAuthAPIScoped&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US#title_PerAuth-getInitiatorURL_S)  
Note:  
If the personal authentication plugin (`com.snc.sn_ihub_personal_auth`) is activated, use the scoped API to generate the initiator URL. This API is available only if the plugin is installed.

## Procedure

1. Use the following format to construct the token generation URL for Password Grant Type:  

       https://<instance-name>.service-now.com/oauth_password_input.do?
       sysparm_oauth_requestor_context=oauth_2_0_credential&sysparm_oauth_requestor=
       <credential sys_id>&sysparm_oauth_provider_profile=<OAUTH profile sys_id>&sysparm_oauth_personal=true 

2. Use the following format to construct the token generation URL for Authorization Code Grant Type:  

       https:// ://<instance-name>.service-now.com /oauth_initiator.do?
       oauth_requestor_context=oauth_2_0_credentials&oauth_requestor=
       <credential sys_id>&oauth_provider_profile=<OAUTH profile sys_id>&response_type=code&personal=true
