Credentials inventory (ULTIMATE SELF)

Introduced in GitLab 12.6.

GitLab administrators are responsible for the overall security of their instance. To assist, GitLab provides a Credentials inventory to keep track of all the credentials that can be used to access their self-managed instance.

Use Credentials inventory to see for your GitLab instance all:

• Personal access tokens (PAT).
• Project access tokens (GitLab 14.8 and later).
• SSH keys.
• GPG keys.

You can also revoke and delete and see:

• Who they belong to.
• Their access scope.
• Their usage pattern.
• When they expire. Introduced in GitLab 13.2.
• When they were revoked. Introduced in GitLab 13.2.

To access the Credentials inventory:

1. On the top bar, select Menu > Admin.
2. On the left sidebar, select Credentials.

Revoke a user's personal access token

Introduced in GitLab 13.4.

If you see a Revoke button, you can revoke that user's PAT. Whether you see a Revoke button depends on the token state, and if an expiration date has been set. For more information, see the following table:

Token state	Token expiration enforced?	Show Revoke button?	Comments
Active	Yes	Yes	Allows administrators to revoke the PAT, such as for a compromised account
Active	No	Yes	Allows administrators to revoke the PAT, such as for a compromised account
Expired	Yes	No	PAT expires automatically
Expired	No	Yes	The administrator may revoke the PAT to prevent indefinite use
Revoked	Yes	No	Not applicable; token is already revoked
Revoked	No	No	Not applicable; token is already revoked

When a PAT is revoked from the credentials inventory, the instance notifies the user by email.

Revoke a user's project access token

Introduced in GitLab 14.8.

The Revoke button next to a project access token can be selected to revoke that particular project access token. This will both:

• Revoke the token project access token.
• Enqueue a background worker to delete the project bot user.

Delete a user's SSH key

Introduced in GitLab 13.5.

You can Delete a user's SSH key by navigating to the credentials inventory's SSH Keys tab. The instance then notifies the user.

Review existing GPG keys

• Introduced in GitLab 13.10.
• Feature flag removed in GitLab 13.12.

You can view all existing GPG in your GitLab instance by navigating to the credentials inventory GPG Keys tab, as well as the following properties:

• Who the GPG key belongs to.
• The ID of the GPG key.
• Whether the GPG key is verified or unverified
