title: Create Robot Accounts
|
|
weight: 40

|
You can create robot accounts to run automated operations. Robot accounts have the following limitations:
|
|
|
|
1. Robot Accounts cannot log in to the Harbor interface.
|
|
1. Robot Accounts can only perform operations by using the Docker and Helm CLIs.
|
|
|
|
### Add a Robot Account
|
|
|
|
1. Log in to the Harbor interface with an account that has at least project administrator privileges.
|
|
1. Go to **Projects**, select a project, and select **Robot Accounts**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Click **New Robot Account**.
|
|
1. Enter a name and an optional description for this robot account.
|
|
1. Set expiration time for this robot account, you can also select checkbox **Never Expired** if you want to create a never expiring robot account. If not set, the expiration time of system configuration will be used for this robot account.
|
|
1. Grant permission to the robot account to push images and to push and pull Helm charts.
|
|
|
|
Robot accounts can always pull images, so you cannot deselect this option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Save**.
|
|
1. In the confirmation window, click **Export to File** to download the access token as a JSON file, or click the clipboard icon to copy its contents to the clipboard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Harbor does not store robot account tokens, so you must either download the token JSON or copy and paste its contents into a text file. There is no way to get the token from Harbor after you have created the robot account.
|
|
{{< /important >}}
|
|
|
|
The new robot account appears as `robot$account_name` in the list of robot accounts. The `robot$` prefix makes it easily distinguishable from a normal Harbor user account.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. To delete or disable a robot account, select the account in the list, and select **Disable account** or **Delete** from the Action drop-down menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Configure the Expiry Period of Robot Accounts
|
|
|
|
By default, robot accounts expire after 30 days. You can set a longer or shorter lifespan for robot accounts by modifying the expiry period for robot account tokens. The expiry period applies to all robot accounts in all projects.
|
|
|
|
1. Log in to the Harbor interface with an account that has Harbor system administrator privileges.
|
|
1. Go to **Configuration** and select **System Settings**.
|
|
1. In the **Robot Token Expiration (Days)** row, modify the number of days after which robot account tokens expire.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Authenticate with a Robot Account
|
|
|
|
To use a robot account in an automated process, for example a script, use `docker login` and provide the credentials of the robot account.
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
docker login <i>harbor_address</i>
|
|
Username: robot$<i>account_name</i>
|
|
Password: <i>robot_account_token</i>
|
|
</pre>
