💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'w' permission which allows write access instead of read.

Setting expiry to a past date.

Setting https-only to 'false' or omitting it.

--permissions 'r' means read access. --expiry sets the token expiry time in UTC ISO format. --https-only set to 'true' ensures secure access.
