Orchestrator will return a token that authenticates all subsequent actions.\n\n**Notes:**\n * The URL for this call differs from the rest. It is https://account.uipath.com.\n\n * All calls to the Cloud API require the `X-UIPATH-TenantName` header. Tenant is extracted here from the URL in your environment.\n\n * Don't worry about copying and pasting any tokens once authenticated; this collection does it for you! You can make any call now and it will first ensure that a valid token already exists, retrieving a new token otherwise."
