Authorization
string
header
required

A human (abh_…), agent (aba_…), browser (abb_…) or machine delegation (abd_…) token. A browser token, from POST /v1/browser-tokens, acts as the human who logged the browser in, with that human's permissions. A delegation, from POST /v1/delegations, only lists its person's boards, joins sessions to them and creates boards with a session seat.
