We introduced Personal Access Tokens (PAT), so anyone with a Calibre account can use the CLI and Node.js API to retrieve monitoring information and set up automations:
Creating a Personal Access Token in Profile Settings.
Before, only organisation administrators could create API access tokens, which created a need to give admin privileges to people who shouldn’t necessarily have access to other admin-only areas such as Billing and People Management. Now, anyone within your organisation can create a Personal Access Token with the level of permissions that mimics their account access level. With the introduction of PATs, everyone gains access to Calibre’s APIs.
Administrators can keep track of and manage all access tokens in the API tab:

Personal Access Tokens will become even more helpful with the introduction of Teams. Not only the newly introduced Viewers will be able to retrieve data, but also Calibre will scope everyone but the admin’s access to the Teams they belong to.
