# Enable Access Tokens for GitLab

Axolo Two Way Synchronization on GitLab by default relies on the credential of the person who installed it. For better reliability you can add a [Group Access token ](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/group_access_tokens.html) (Paid Version of GitLab) or a [Personal Access token](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html).

This guide will show you how to get it from GitLab and add it to your Axolo account. 


**1. Get your token from GitLab: **
* Navigate to your Group settings/ Access token (or to your [Personal Access token](https://gitlab.com/-/user_settings/personal_access_tokens) for personal tokens)
* Click on Add New token
* Select scope **API**  with at **Owner Role** (Axolo needs owner role to be able to handle webhooks settings)
* Save your generated token for Step 2
