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 project access tokens in GitLab to enhance security.
  2. Integrate token rotation into CI/CD pipelines to maintain secure access to project resources.
