---

BoostSecurity provides an integration with GitLab that will enable you to inventory your GitLab repositories, conveniently provision security scanners onto those repositories, and visualize GitLab data in the Boost dashboard, rewarding you complete visibility into your organization's GitLab activity.

---

Prerequisites

---

To install the BoostSecurity GitLab integration, prepare the following:

• Create a GitLab Personal Access Token with the api scope selected.
  • It is advised that a protected, non-human GitLab account entity is assigned to this Personal Access Token. Otherwise, the connection between Boost and GitLab can be severed if the associated entity's account is removed during standard offboarding or change management procedures.
    • The current version of Boost does not support Group Access Tokens or a Service Account.
  • The entity that the Personal Access Token is assigned to will need to have Owner permissions for the repositories that are associated with the GitLab groups that are being ingested into Boost.
