Application users are now generally available in Aiven

Application users are a special type of user that super admin can create to use for programmatic access to Aiven through the API, Terraform, Kubernetes, or other applications. They make it easier to audit and manage access to your Aiven resources for applications.

These users are centrally managed by organization super admin, who now have full visibility into how their organization’s resources are programmatically accessed on the Aiven platform. The application user tokens also add another level of security. Super admin can restrict users from creating personal tokens, ensuring that only approved applications access the Aiven API with application user tokens. This also makes it easier for super admin to regularly rotate tokens according to your organization’s security policies.
