## What are personal access tokens?

[Personal access tokens](/ci/recipes/security/personal-access-tokens) are a new type of access token that is scoped to

Users must log in to Nx Cloud and they are a member of a workspace before a personal access token can be created.
Once created, we validate that token for access each time you use the distributed cache. As soon as a user loses access,
the personal access token no

The user's token belongs to them and will still allow access to their remaining organizations.

This gets even more powerful when combined with the GitHub VCS integration. When a user's GitHub access is removed from
