# Credentials inventory **(ULTIMATE SELF)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/20912) in GitLab 12.6.
GitLab administrators are responsible for the overall security of their instance. To assist, GitLab
provides a Credentials inventory to keep track of all the credentials that can be used to access
their self-managed instance.
Using Credentials inventory, you can see all the personal access tokens (PAT), SSH keys, and GPG keys
that exist in your GitLab instance. In addition, you can [revoke](#revoke-a-users-personal-access-token)
and [delete](#delete-a-users-ssh-key) and see:
- Who they belong to.
- Their access scope.
- Their usage pattern.
- When they expire. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/214809) in GitLab 13.2.
- When they were revoked. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/214809) in GitLab 13.2.
To access the Credentials inventory:
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Credentials**.
The following is an example of the Credentials inventory page:
## Revoke a user's personal access token
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/214811) in GitLab 13.4.
If you see a **Revoke** button, you can revoke that user's PAT. Whether you see a **Revoke** button depends on the token state, and if an expiration date has been set. For more information, see the following table:
| Token state | [Token expiration enforced?](settings/account_and_limit_settings.md#allow-expired-personal-access-tokens-to-be-used) | Show Revoke button? | Comments |
|-------------|------------------------|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Active | Yes | Yes | Allows administrators to revoke the PAT, such as for a compromised account |
| Active | No | Yes | Allows administrators to revoke the PAT, such as for a compromised account |
| Expired | Yes | No | PAT expires automatically |
| Expired | No | Yes | The administrator may revoke the PAT to prevent indefinite use |
| Revoked | Yes | No | Not applicable; token is already revoked |
| Revoked | No | No | Not applicable; token is already revoked |
When a PAT is revoked from the credentials inventory, the instance notifies the user by email.
## Delete a user's SSH key
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/225248) in GitLab 13.5.
You can **Delete** a user's SSH key by navigating to the credentials inventory's SSH Keys tab.
The instance then notifies the user.
## Review existing GPG keys
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/282429) in GitLab 13.10.
> - [Feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/292961) in GitLab 13.12.
You can view all existing GPG in your GitLab instance by navigating to the
credentials inventory GPG Keys tab, as well as the following properties:
- Who the GPG key belongs to.
- The ID of the GPG key.
- Whether the GPG key is [verified or unverified](../project/repository/gpg_signed_commits/index.md)
