Introduce renew personal access token capability in UI

Problem to solve

While improving the call-to-action for expired tokens, the idea was proposed to simplify the process of "renewing" a token. If a user has a token that expired, they must first revoke the token and create a new one with the same configuration.

Intended users

Any user that does not have Personal Access Tokens automatically revoked when they expire.

User experience goal

Understand what the options are for managing a PAT that has expired (or will soon expired)

Proposal

Use dropdown to create menu of options

  • Revoke (Same behavior)
  • Rotate (regenerate a new token with the same scope and expiration period without having to input all of that again)

Proposed

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

  • Reduction in time for tokens staying in an expired state
