4. Enter your GitLab Access Token. Scroll to the end of this page for more details.
5. Select Add Connection in order to finish the process.

Where I can find the Access Token?

1. Log in to your GitLab instance.

2. Click on your profile picture (top-right corner).

3. Select Edit Profile.

4. From the left sidebar, click Access Tokens.

5. Enter a name so you can easily identify it later and a expiration date (optional but recommended)

6. Set the mandatory scopes:

   • api: Required if you want to enable soft-delete remediation actions
   • read_api: Required for read-only access
   • read_repository: Required for read-only access and scanning actions.
   • write_repository: Required if you want to enable soft-delete remediation actions.
