EEM Admin API Access Token is strictly bound to a specific user identity

Token is strictly bound to a specific user identity
The token is strictly associated with the identity of the user who generated it, apparently including the audit trail. This has two issues - only this user has to specifically create it and manage it under his ID, it is not manageable by other users, and it causes CI/CD pipeline runs to effectively appear as actions of this specific user, which can be very misleading from an audit and compliance perspective.

It would therefore be highly desirable to allow users to generate a dedicated custom token (similar to GitHub access tokens) that clearly represents an application or automation rather than actions performed by an individual user (basically to imitate a service account or a system user). While it is the customer’s responsibility to properly secure such a token within their CI/CD platform, this approach would also support the desired governance model, where manual changes in production environments are restricted and deployments are performed exclusively via automation.
