How to generate a GitLab Access Token with Privileges

Personal Access Token

For polling GitLab Issues, you need to provide an access token.

1. Go to User Settings / Access tokens
2. Add a new token with the scope api

Project Access Token

If you self-host GitLab or have the Premium/Ultimate license, it's possible to get a Project Access Token, which is scoped to a project. The scope is similar to the Personal Access token, but you also set a role. To learn what each role can do, see the <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/permissions.html#project-planning">Documentation</a>.
