Overview

This node operation rotates an access token for a specific project in GitLab. It is useful for maintaining security by periodically updating access tokens without needing to create new ones manually. For example, a user can automate the rotation of project access tokens to ensure that tokens are regularly refreshed, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate rotation of a GitLab project access token to enhance security.
  2. Rotate a specific access token for a project to invalidate the old token and generate a new one.
