NAME

       glab-token-create - Creates user, group, or project access tokens.

SYNOPSIS

       glab token create  [flags]

DESCRIPTION

       Creates  a  new  access  token for a user, group, or project. Defaults to a project access
       token, unless user or group name is specified.

       The expiration date of the token is calculated by adding the duration (default:  30  days)
       to the current date. You can specify a different duration, or an explicit end date.

       The name of the token must be unique. The token is printed to stdout.

       Administrators  can  create  full-featured  personal  access tokens for themselves and for
       other users.  Non-administrators can create personal access  tokens  only  for  themselves
       (@me) with the scope 'k8s_proxy'.

OPTIONS

       -A,  --access-level=no       Access  level  of  the  token:  one  of  'guest', 'reporter',
       'developer', 'maintainer', 'owner'.

       -D, --duration=720h0m0s      Sets the token duration, in hours. Maximum of 8760. Examples:
       24h, 168h, 504h.

       -E,  --expires-at=0001-01-01      Sets the token's expiration date and time, in YYYY-MM-DD
       format. If not specified, --duration is used.

       -g, --group=""      Create a group access token. Ignored if a user or repository  argument
       is set.

       -F,  --output="text"       Format  output  as  'text'  for the token value, 'json' for the
       actual API token structure.

       -R,  --repo=""       Select   another   repository.   Can   use   either   OWNER/REPO   or
       GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO format. Also accepts full URL or Git URL.

       -S,   --scope=[read_repository]        Scopes   for   the   token.   For   a   list,   see
       https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html#personal-access-token-
       scopes.

       -U, --user=""      Create a personal access token. For the current user, use @me.
