Personal API Token with same rights than the user to whom the token belows

We have been told by Instana support that users allowed to create their personal API tokens can access through the API to data that they have forbidden to access through the User Interface, which would seem to not be coherent at all.

I would like the Instana team to take under consideration to force all personal API tokens to follow the same access restrictions rules as the users who have created the tokens.

Thank you for your time.

    This capability is being introduced on Synthetic Monitoring API endpoints, but due to the dependencies to fully roll this our across all API endpoints I don't have an ETA when it will be fully completed.

    This is a known limitation of the API interface and will require backend changes from all feature components, however this is something we already have planned to make possible later this year, with each feature gradually enabling the limitations for the personal API tokens.
