My student is creating a Let’s Encrypt certificate according to this guide:
He needs a token. But I do not know what permissions exactly should I give to the token?
When I go to “Create A New Personal Access Token” I see many options in the “Custom Scopes” menu, but none of them mentions DNS or encryption.
Also, I do not see how to create an API token for a specific droplet?

Hi there,
If you are using the new scoped API tokens, you would need the domain scope:
The domain scope gives you access to manage domain DNS records.
An alternative option is to use the full access API tokens.
Let me know if you have any questions!
