A personal access tokens is stored in the `GALASA_TOKEN` property in the `galasactl.properties` file in your Galasa home folder, or in the `GALASA_TOKEN` environment variable. The `galasactl.properties` file is created when you run the `galasa local init` command. Setting the `GALASA_TOKEN` property in this file with a valid token value allows the galasactl tool to access and communicate with an Ecosystem on behalf of the user.

If you have [installed your Galasa Ecosystem](../ecosystem/ecosystem-installing-k8s) by using the Galasa Ecosystem Helm chart that is provided with Galasa, you will have access to the Galasa Web UI. To get a value for the `GALASA_TOKEN` property, log into the Galasa Web UI and request a personal access token which can be copied into the `GALASA_TOKEN` property. The instructions on how to do this are displayed in a dialog box in the Galasa Web UI. You can choose to set the token as an environmental variable but the value would not persist across terminals, so is only valid for that session.
