Prerequisites: * Group owner access and a personal access token with the `api` scope Select **Setup** for **GitLab**, then create a GitLab personal access token with the `api` scope. For help generating a token, see [GitLab's documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html). GitLab setup form in Cysmiq with fields for token name, host, and access token. Enter your GitLab host, such as `https://gitlab.com` or your self-managed domain, and the personal access token, then select **Save Changes**. Enable **Skip SSL certificate verification** only if your self-managed GitLab uses a self-signed certificate. GitLab setup form filled with a token and host.
