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 du-
       ration, 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 them-
       selves (@me). These tokens must use the scope 'k8s_proxy'. For more in-
       formation, see  the  GitLab  documentation  for	the  User  tokens  API
       <https://docs.gitlab.com/api/user_tokens/#create-a-personal-access-to-
       ken>.

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

       --description="description"	Sets the token's description.

       -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/user/profile/personal_access_tokens/#per-
       sonal-access-token-scopes.

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