Browse Source 
## Which Problems Are Solved

There is currently a knowledge gap in the documentation where users are
unclear on if or why human accounts cannot have Personal Access Tokens
(PATs), which has led to confusion in community channels like Discord
and GitHub.

## How the Problems Are Solved

Clarified that human PATs are currently not supported in the Personal
Access Token documentation and added a direct link to GitHub Issue
#10915 so users can track and upvote this capability.

## Additional Changes

None

## Additional Context

A Personal Access Token (PAT) is a ready-to-use token that can be used as an _Authorization_ header.
At the moment ZITADEL only allows PATs for service accounts.

Human PATs are currently not supported. PATs are available for service accounts only.
</Callout>
It is an alternative to the [private key JWT](./private-key-jwt) and [client credentials](./client-credentials). Read more about the different [authentication methods for service accounts](./authenticate-service-accounts).
