Connect with an API token

  1. In Hexnode:

    1. Sign in to your Hexnode portal as an administrator.
    2. Go to Admin › API and select the Enable API Access check box.
    3. On the same Admin › API page, copy the API key.

    Where to find the other values:

    • Subdomain: The part of your portal address before .hexnodemdm.com (https://<portal>.hexnodemdm.com).

    The fetched docs describe no per-key permissions or role options, and do not say whether the key stays visible. The key can also be fetched with POST https://<portal>.hexnodemdm.com/api/v1/api-token-auth/ using a username and password.

    Source: hexnode.com, hexnode.com, checked 2026-10-07.

    The permissions Safeguard needs: API access enabled.

    FieldWhat to enter
    SubdomainRequired. The part before .hexnodemdm.com in your address.
    API keyRequired. Stored encrypted and never shown again.
  3. Click Connect with token.

Frameworks

Safeguard's automated tests read Hexnode and map to the controls below. When a test passes, the result is evidence toward each control it maps to, in every framework listed. It is evidence toward a control, not proof that the control is met on its own.
