# Creating an access token in Contentful

To allow PingFederate to access Contentful, generate an access token and get the SCIM URL.

## Steps

1. Sign on to [Contentful](https://app.contentful.com/) as the organization owner.

2. Go to **Organization settings > User provisioning**.

   1. On the Contentful dashboard, from the **Space** menu, select **Organization settings & subscriptions**.

3. On the **User Provisioning** window, click **Generate personal access token**. On the **Generate Personal Access Token** modal, enter a name of your choosing. Click **Generate**.

4. Note the access token and the **SCIM URL**.

   You'll use these in [Creating a provisioning connection](pf_contentful_integration_creating_a_provisioning_connection.html).
