Using OAuth2#

You'll need a GitLab account. Then create a new GitLab application:

  1. In GitLab, select your avatar, then select Edit profile.
  2. In the left sidebar, select Applications.
  3. Select Add new application.
  4. Enter a Name for your application, like Easexpense integration.
  5. In Easexpense, copy the OAuth Redirect URL. Enter it as the GitLab Redirect URI.
  6. Select the desired Scopes. For the GitLab, use the api scope to easily grant access for all the functionality. Or refer to Personal access token scopes to select scopes for the functions you want to use.
  7. Select Save application.
  8. Copy the Application ID and enter it as the Client ID in your Easexpense credential.
  9. Copy the Secret and enter it as the Client Secret in your Easexpense credential.
