Yeah .. it's not great. Creating a machine user is really the only way to do it right now :(.

And they'll charge you the full seat price for it :/

GitLab now has project access tokens for that.

If you have a "project" not a "user". If I'd known this in the past I would have just created a "kevincox" project and a "kevincox-u" user.
