# Create Multiple User Auth Tokens

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="74.8046875" align="center"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center"><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>POST</strong></mark> </td><td>https://api.sfox.com/v1/enterprise/user-tokens</td></tr></tbody></table>

Generate a user auth token for multiple end users.

***

User auth tokens are short-lived authentication tokens, expiring 24 hours after creation (expiration of a given token specified in the `expires` field of the response). User auth tokens are used for actions specific to a user's account (e.g. Initiate an ACH Deposit, Create an Order).&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
sFOX recommends that you do not store user auth tokens. Instead, create a new user auth token as needed whenever executing requests on behalf of a specific user.

There is no limit to the number of user auth tokens that may be created.

To create a user auth token for a single user, use a [Create Single User Auth Token](/connect/rest-api/end-users/create-user-auth-token.md) request.
