Infisical supports the use of API Tokens to connect with CircleCI.

CircleCI requires the account user to have Read/Write or Admin permissions

Create a CircleCI API Token

1. Click the profile image in the top-right corner and select 'User Settings'

   
2. In the user settings sidebar, select 'Personal API Tokens'

   Click the “Create new token” button to create a new personal API token.

   
3. Set a name for the token and click 'Add API Token'

   After creating the token, save the shown token value as it will not be shown again. You will need this token to configure your Infisical connection
