## Get a project's CI/CD job token access settings

Fetch the [CI/CD job token access settings](../ci/jobs/ci_job_token.md#control-job-token-access-to-your-project) (job token scope) of a project.

```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/job_token_scope
```

|-----------|----------------|----------|-------------|
| `id`      | integer/string | Yes      | ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/_index.md#namespaced-paths). |

| `inbound_enabled`  | boolean | Indicates if the [**Limit access to this project** setting](../ci/jobs/ci_job_token.md#add-a-group-or-project-to-the-job-token-allowlist) is enabled. If disabled, then [all projects have access](../ci/jobs/ci_job_token.md#allow-any-project-to-access-your-project). |
| `outbound_enabled` | boolean | Indicates if the CI/CD job token generated in this project has access to other projects. [Deprecated and planned for removal in GitLab 18.0](../update/deprecations.md#cicd-job-token---limit-access-from-your-project-setting-removal). |
