# Why can't I create an API token?

Token creation requires an eligible plan and organization admin permissions. If you're an admin but don't see the option to create a token, your current plan may not include self-service token management — check your plan under Settings → Billing or contact Sales about upgrading. Logging out and back in won't resolve a plan-related limitation.
