Refs: - #1850

Initially I decided that the API shouldn't be able to create new tokens at all - I don't like the idea of an API token holder creating themselves additional tokens.

Then I realized that two of the API features are specifically more useful if you can generate fresh tokens via the API:

  • Tokes that expire after a time limit are MUCH more useful if they can be automatically generated
  • Likewise, tokens that are restricted to a subset of permissions (see #1855) make more sense to be generated like this, especially in conjunction with expiry times
