If a project is private, credentials will need to be provided for authorization.
The preferred way to do this, is by using [personal access tokens][pat].
The minimal scope needed is `read_registry`.
The preferred way to do this, is either by using a [personal access tokens][pat] or a [project deploy token][pdt].
The minimal scope needed for both of them is `read_registry`.
Example of using a personal access token:
```
docker login registry.example.com -u <your_username> -p <your_personal_access_token>
docker login registry.example.com -u <your_username> -p <your_access_token>

# Deploy Tokens
> [Introduced][ce-17894] in GitLab 10.7.
Deploy tokens allow to download (through `git clone`), or read the container registry images of a project without the need of having a user and a password.
Please note, that the expiration of deploy tokens happens on the date you define,
at midnight UTC and that they can be only managed by [masters](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/permissions.html).
## Creating a personal access token
You can create as many deploy tokens as you like from the settings of your project:
1. Log in to your GitLab account.
1. Go to the project you want to create Deploy Tokens for.
1. Go to **Settings** > **Repository**
1. Click on "Expand" on **Deploy Tokens** section
1. Choose a name and optionally an expiry date for the token.
1. Choose the [desired scopes](#limiting-scopes-of-a-deploy-token).
1. Click on **Create deploy token**.
1. Save the deploy token somewhere safe. Once you leave or refresh
the page, **you won't be able to access it again**.

## Revoking a personal access token
At any time, you can revoke any deploy token by just clicking the
respective **Revoke** button under the 'Active deploy tokens' area.
## Limiting scopes of a deploy token
Deploy tokens can be created with two different scopes that allow various
actions that a given token can perform. The available scopes are depicted in
the following table.
| Scope | Description |
| ----- | ----------- |
|`read_repo` | Allows read-access to the repository through `git clone` |
| `read_registry` | Allows read-access to[container registry] images if a project is private and authorization is required. |
## Usage
### Git clone a repository
To download a repository using a Deploy Token, you just need to:
1. Create a Deploy Token with `read_repo` as a scope.
2. `git clone` the project using the Deploy Token:
```bash
git clone http://oauth2:<deploy_token>@gitlab.example.com/tanuki/awesome_project.git
```
Just replace `<deploy_token>` with your real token.
### Read container registry images
To read the container registry images, you'll need to:
1. Create a Deploy Token with `read_registry` as a scope.
2. Log in to GitLab’s Container Registry using the deploy token:
```
docker login registry.example.com -u <username> -p <deploy_token>
```
Just replace `<username>` and `<deploy_token>` with the proper values.
