# Laravel Forge connection

> Learn how to configure a Laravel Forge Connection for Infisical.

Infisical supports the use of [API Tokens](https://forge.laravel.com/docs/api#create-a-new-api-token) to connect with Laravel Forge.

## Create Laravel Forge API token

**1. From your Laravel Forge dashboard, click on your user avatar and go to 'API'**

**2. Click 'Create Token'**

![Applications Tab](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/app-connections/laravel-forge/app-connection-create-api-token.png)

**3. Provide Token Information**

Provide a name for your token and select the following permissions:

* `user:view`
* `organization:view`
* `server:view`
* `site:manage-environment`

Then select 'Add token'.

**4. Copy the token securely**

Make sure to copy the token now—you won’t be able to access it again.
