# Restore Service Token

Source: https://userguide.qualytics.io/settings/access-tokens/service-token/managing/restore-service-token/

Use the Restore action to reactivate a previously revoked Service Token. This is useful if a token was mistakenly revoked or if access needs to be re-enabled without generating a new token.

> **Info: Permissions**
>
> Only users with the **Admin** role can restore Service Tokens. See the [Permissions](https://userguide.qualytics.io/settings/access-tokens/service-token/deep-dive/permissions/) page for details.

> **Note**
>
> The Restore option is only available for **revoked** tokens that have not expired. If a token has expired, the UI hides the Restore option — generate a new token instead.

## Steps

**Step 1:** Click the **vertical ellipsis**  next to the revoked Service Token that you want to restore.

> **Tip**
>
> If the token was revoked because it was **compromised or exposed**, do not restore it. Generate a new token instead, update your automation, and [delete](https://userguide.qualytics.io/settings/access-tokens/service-token/managing/delete-service-token/) the compromised token permanently.
