Allow administrators to enable or disable Personal Access tokens creation from the UI

Problem to solve

Administrators cannot enable or disable the creation of Personal Access Tokens at the instance level using the Admin page.

Proposal

The Application Settings API gives us the option to enable or disable creation of Personal Access Tokens on the instance level. We should have a corresponding option in the Admin > Settings > General page.

We do have a related issue where it cannot be enabled back if done via the API so we have to use the console to turn it back on.

ApplicationSetting.last.update(disable_personal_access_tokens: false)

Intended users

• Sidney (Systems Administrator)
• Cameron (Compliance Manager)
