+### Use Base Profile and Token with Existing Profiles
+
+Leverage existing base profiles with a token to access z/OSMF via the API Mediation Layer.
+
+Before using the base profile functionality, ensure that you have [Zowe CLI](https://docs.zowe.org/stable/user-guide/cli-installcli.html) v1.13.0 or higher installed.
+
+**Follow these steps:**
+
+1. Open Zowe CLI and run the following command: `zowe auth login apiml`
+2. Follow the instructions to complete the login.  
+   A local base profile is created that contains your token.  
+   **Note:** For more information about the process, see [Token Management](https://docs.zowe.org/stable/user-guide/cli-usingcli.html#how-token-management-works).
+
+3. Run Zowe Explorer and click the **+** icon.  
+
+4. Select the profile you use with your base profile with the token.
+
+   The profile appears in the tree and you can now use this profile to access z/OSMF via the API Mediation Layer.  
+
