# Using user tokens

**Don't forget to check out our** [**JSON RESTful APIs**](https://developer.quickbase.com/)**, they can help you utilize and extend Quickbase with ease.**

You can create your own [user tokens](/v1/docs/create-and-use-user-tokens) in Quickbase and use them to run APIs and automation with your permissions.

Many API calls that use a ticket can instead take a parameter called *usertoken*. You can still use the ticket method, if you prefer. You can use any user token parameter with any API that doesn't post to a db/main URL, and also with API_GrantedDBs.

After you have created one or more user tokens, you can activate, deactivate, or delete them. For more details about managing user tokens, click [here](/v1/docs/quickbase-manage-user-tokens).
