Hey guys,
so we finally convinced our management to purchase SonarCloud for our company, yay! I’m currently trying to create an organization for us and I am wondering what the PAT token is used for?
Based on my experience with SonarQube I am guessing Pull Request Decoration? So I should probably use a functional account which is also a Project Collection Administrator? Or is it used for something else?
The PAT will also be used to list your projects / repositories to be able to import them automatically (it will create a SonarCloud project based on that), as well as for the PR decoration, you’re right.
So yes, we strongly encourage to create a service account for that, with dedicated permissions.
