# How do I create a Group Access Token for GitLab?

An alternative to the Personal Access Token is the Group Access Token. Steps on how to create one can be found in [GitLab's documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/settings/group_access_tokens.html#create-a-group-access-token-using-ui). For the scope, `read_repository` scope should be selected. For the role of the token, `Reporter` should be selected.

When entering the authentication credentials in Ketryx, the username has no effect, but the password should be the Group Access Token.
