To get the [project access token](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/settings/project%5Faccess%5Ftokens.html), navigate to your GitLab project settings and create a new token.

<Tip>
  **TIP**

  Project access tokens are preferred over personal tokens for security.

When configuring your token, select the **Maintainer** role and select the **api** scope.
