# CLI Authentication

## pre-requisites

You will need your access token, which you can obtain by accessing the URL <https://environments.bunnyshell.com/access-token>.

 

## Create a profile

Using the access token, you can setup a CLI profile for easy access to your account using the command:

```
$ bns configure profiles add
```

> 📘 You can have multiple profiles, for different users or different organizations (and same user).

> 👍 You can use the profiles to target specific environments also, or projects not just organizations.

 

## Using the token inline

You can also pass the token as an option for commands which require authentication, eg:

```
$ bns environments list --token 123:2664b6ba3d051efdfbb041a54827969b
```
