# Configure token settings in GitHub

Learn how to configure token settings to manage personal access tokens, enable security options, and set repository permissions.

Personal Access Tokens (PATs) provide a secure way to authenticate and access GitHub repositories. They allow Deployment Manager to interact with repositories.

Navigate to **Personal Access Tokens** > **Tokens**.

Enable the **Access through fine-grained personal access tokens** setting.

Enable the **Require administrator approval** setting for added security.

Select whether requests for personal access tokens should be auto-approved or require manual approval. If manual approval is selected, the repository owner will need to review and approve requests under **Personal Access Tokens** > **Pending Requests**.

Click **Save**.

Once set up, the token can be used for API calls with the organization's name serving as the username in the requests.

For more information on repository permissions, see [Github repository permissions](/docs/platform/data-management/deployment-manager/github-integration-with-deployment-manager/admin-settings/github-repository-permissions).
