### Can access tokens be shared?

No.

Access tokens are personal.

They must not be shared between natural persons.
72+
Yes.
73+
In fact, that's what we're doing with the anonymous tenant.
74+
All anonymous dbLinter users share the same access token.
75+
This token only has the DB-Developer role.
76+
77+
However, access tokens are personal.
78+
Therefore, you also need to share your email address (username) and tenant name.
79+
This is necessary when running dbLinter in a CI/CD pipeline.
80+
81+
For optimal security, it is advisable to use separate access tokens, limiting each one to a single tenant and the necessary roles.
