`glab token rotate`

Rotate user, group, or project access tokens.

Synopsis

If multiple tokens share the same name, specify the token ID to select the correct one.

The token expires at 00:00 UTC on a date calculated by adding the duration to today’s date. The default duration is 30 days. You can specify a different duration in days (d), weeks (w), or hours (h). The --duration and --expires-at flags are mutually exclusive.

Administrators can rotate personal access tokens that belong to other users.
