Tokens and Passwords

The Tokens page (Security in the navigation, admins only; the page itself is titled Privilege Keys) holds two separate things: privilege keys, which hand somebody a group, and temporary server passwords, which let somebody onto a password-protected server for a while.

Both are TeamSpeak's own, kept by the TeamSpeak server; the manager only lists, creates and deletes them. Creating them needs the matching permission on the account the manager connects with (b_virtualserver_token_add for keys, b_virtualserver_modify_password for temporary passwords).

Privilege keys

A privilege key hands a group to whoever redeems it in their TeamSpeak client — the usual way to give a new admin their rights without touching their client manually. TeamSpeak deletes the key as soon as it has been used, so it works once.

Create Token asks for:

the group type — a Server Group, or a Channel Group;
the group itself, picked from the server's groups with their icons. Only real, assignable groups are offered: TeamSpeak's built-in template groups are rejected by the server, and so are the groups ServerQuery accounts use — see Tips and Pitfalls;
for a channel group, the channel the group applies in;
an optional description, so you remember who it was for.

The new key is copied to your clipboard the moment it is created. It also appears in the list below, which shows every key that has not been used yet — the key itself with a copy button, its type, the group's ID (the list shows the number, not the name) and the description. The bin deletes a key without asking. The search field looks through the descriptions.

Treat a key like a password: whoever holds it can claim the group. If you handed one out by mistake, delete it here.

Temporary server passwords

A temporary password lets people onto a server that has a password, for a limited time, without giving them the real one.

Create (in the Temporary Passwords card) asks for:

the password — type one, or press the dice button for a random one;
an optional description;
how long it is valid: a number of minutes, hours or days;
the target channel: a client connecting with this password lands in that channel straight away. Default Channel is the server's usual one.

The list shows each password in clear (with a copy button), its description, the target channel, how long it has left (or Expired) and who created it. The bin deletes one without asking, so nobody can join with it any more. The search field looks through the descriptions.
