As an administrator, how do I get an API token for a user other than myself, without logging in as them? When I visit the user configuration page, all I see is that "Token is hidden", and I cannot change it either.

The Jenkins master authenticates the user against a users' database, in case of a username:password combination, or by comparing tokens with the local user's API token, stored in the user's config. xml file, in case of username:APItoken authentication.
The Jenkins API uses HTTP BASIC authentication and requires a username as well as an API token to connect. Then click the box named "Show API Token", and copy the token to your clipboard. Perfect!! There we go!
There is a Jenkins System Property, jenkins.security.ApiTokenProperty.showTokenToAdmins . You need access to the master/OC process startup to change it.
