# 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, navigate to **Admin Area > 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#optional-non-enforcement-of-personal-access-token-expiration) | 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.
> - It's [deployed behind a feature flag](../feature_flags.md), disabled by default.
> - It's disabled on GitLab.com.
> - It's not recommended for production use.
> - To use it in GitLab self-managed instances, ask a GitLab administrator to [enable it](#enable-or-disable-the-gpg-keys-view).
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)
### Enable or disable the GPG keys view
Enabling or disabling the GPG keys view is under development and not ready for production use. It is
deployed behind a feature flag that is **disabled by default**.
[GitLab administrators with access to the GitLab Rails console](../../administration/feature_flags.md)
can enable it.
To enable it:
```ruby
Feature.enable(:credential_inventory_gpg_keys)
```
To disable it:
```ruby
Feature.disable(:credential_inventory_gpg_keys)
```
