# blossom environment:access:token:create

Create a bypass token

## Usage

    blossom environment:access:token:create --environment ENVIRONMENT [--name NAME] [--expires EXPIRES]

## Flags

| Flag | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--environment, -e (required)` | Environment id the token opens, with its Previews |
| `--name` | Optional label, such as CI or uptime |
| `--expires` | Days until it expires: 30, 90, 365 or never. Default: never. |

Examples:

    blossom environment:access:token:create --environment environment-100 --name CI
    curl -H "X-Blossom-Access: $BLOSSOM_ACCESS_TOKEN" https://shop.example.com/

Creates a bypass token for automated tests, monitors and screenshot tools, and
prints it once. Blossom keeps only its digest, so store it as a secret in the
tool that sends it. It starts working within about 30 seconds.

Send it as the `X-Blossom-Access` header. It opens the Environment and its
Previews while the access mode is Account members. `--expires` takes 30, 90
or 365 days, or `never`, the default; revoking with `environment:access:token:revoke` is
the usual control.
