HI Airbyte Team, I have a question regarding the documentation that seems contradictory or confusing regarding tokens for the airbyte OSS plan In the plans comparison page it says the community version doesn't supports API Token management, and upon hovering the information icon it describes it as
Authenticate via token to our API
. So that gives me the idea that we cannot authenticate to airbyte's api via a token. But then, in the api documentations for OSS version it puts a shell example of authenticating to the airbyte api using a token here So I am confused to what the plans comparison page meant by saying that the comunity version doesn't supports authenticating to airbyte's api via token

Note the
Basic
, not
Bearer
in that example—this is just username/password auth (base64-encoded as a single colon-separated value). Most of us running OSS use other tools in front of Airbyte to secure API access (e.g. Cloud IAP, authentication gateway/proxy, etc.)
