As a GitLab administrator, you are responsible for the overall security of your instance. To assist, GitLab provides an inventory of all the credentials that can be used to access your self-managed instance.
In the credentials inventory, you can view all:
- Personal access tokens (PATs).
- Project access tokens (introduced in GitLab 14.8).
- Group access tokens (introduced in GitLab 15.6).
- SSH keys.
- GPG keys.
You can also revoke, delete, and view:
- Who they belong to.
- Their access scope.
- Their usage pattern.
-
In GitLab 13.2 and later, when they:
- Expire.
- Were revoked.
Revoke a user's personal access token
- Introduced in GitLab 13.4.
You can revoke a user's personal access token.
- On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin Area.
- Select Credentials.
- By the personal access token, select Revoke.
If a Revoke button is not available, the token may be expired or revoked, or an expiration date set.
| Token state | Revoke button displayed? | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Yes | Allows administrators to revoke the PAT, such as for a compromised account |
| Expired | No | Not applicable; token is already expired |
| Revoked | No | Not applicable; token is already revoked |
When a PAT is revoked from the credentials inventory, the instance notifies the user by email.
