How to Create a Project Access Token in GitLab

Prerequisites

• You must have sufficient permissions (Owner or Maintainer role).
• On GitLab.com, Project Access Tokens require Premium or Ultimate subscription, or a trial.
• On self-managed GitLab instances, tokens are generally available without restrictions.

Steps

1. Log in to GitLab and open your project.
2. Navigate to Settings → Access Tokens.
3. Click Add new token.
4. Fill in:
   • Token name
   • (Optional) Token description
   • Expiration date (default 30 days; non-expiring tokens removed since GitLab 16.0)
   • Role (Guest, Reporter, Developer, Maintainer, Owner)
   • Scopes (e.g., api, read_api)
5. Click Create project access token.
6. Copy and save the token immediately — it will only be shown once.
