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.

Rezensionen

I’ve been using the Issues Exporter for GitLab plugin and it has made my workflow so much easier. The setup was straightforward, and exporting issues into CSV only takes a couple of clicks. I really like the live progress bar during export. it gives me confidence that everything is running smoothly. The exported files are well-structured, easy to manage, and I can delete or regenerate them directly from the WordPress dashboard. It also works nicely with Fluent Boards, which is a big plus for my team. Overall, it’s a lightweight plugin that does exactly what it promises without any unnecessary complications. Highly recommended for anyone who works with GitLab and needs quick reports in CSV format!
