Under **Repository access**, select **All repositories**. Select All repositories for token access Configure the required [repository and organization permissions](/openhound/collectors/github/collect-data#required-permissions) to **Read-only**.

Click **Generate token** and copy the token value. Copy the generated token For organizations with SAML SSO enabled, you must [authorize the PAT for SSO access](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/authentication/authenticating-with-saml-single-sign-on/authorizing-a-personal-access-token-for-use-with-saml-single-sign-on) after creating it. ## Next Steps After creating a token, proceed to [configure the collector](/openhound/collectors/github/collect-data) to start collection.
