# Creating fedscm-admin token for releng

Members of the releng team that are processing fedora-scm-requests are using
the CLI tool: fedscm-admin.
They will need a few access to be able to use this tool properly:

- they will need a token to add/adjust things in PDC
- they will need a token to create/modify things on src.fp.o
- they will need a token to act on the fedora-scm-requests repo on pagure.io (this one
  can be created by themselves once they are given the access)

This doc covers the second point.


* Log into pkgs01.iad2.fedoraproject.org
* Run the following command:

````
pagure-admin admin-token create <username> <expiration_date>
````

For example:

````
pagure-admin admin-token create petersen 2020-06-30
````

This will ask you which ACLs you want this token to have, select:
- create_project
- modify_project
- create_branch
- generate_acls_project

Then confirm the creation of the token.

Once the token is created, you can check that it was properly created by doing:

````
pagure-admin admin-token list --user<username>
````

This will return all the active admin-token of that user. You should find the
newly created token there.

You can also check the ACLs of that token by doing:
````
pagure-admin admin-token info <token>
````

Finally, you can edit the expiration date of the token by doing:
````
pagure-admin admin-token update <token> <expiration_date>
````

For example:
````
pagure-admin admin-token update foobarbaz 2000-01-01
````



/!\ Note: there is no need to send that token to the user, simply ask them to
check their API tokens in their settings' page. It will be shown there :)
