# How to setup GitHub Organization settings to allow classic access tokens

If you are migrating or mirroring a repo from your personal github account, you can [generate an access token](/v1/docs/how-to-create-an-allspice-authentication-application-access-token) and skip this tutorial.

If you need to migrate a github repo owned by an organization, you must first set the organization settings before you use your [classic personal access token](/v1/docs/how-to-create-an-allspice-authentication-application-access-token).

Visit your organization page. For example, ours is https://github.com/Moreganization/

Click on settings. This is our organization settings link: https://github.com/organizations/Moreganization/settings/profile ![Screen Shot 2023-03-06 at 4.17.22 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/3d44af5c-3f49-4ca5-b152-10836a885c13/Images/Documentation/Screen%20Shot%202023-03-06%20at%204.17.22%20PM.png)

Allspice does not use fine-grained personal access tokens. Set this to whatever makes sense for your organization. ![Screen Shot 2023-03-06 at 4.19.35 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/3d44af5c-3f49-4ca5-b152-10836a885c13/Images/Documentation/Screen%20Shot%202023-03-06%20at%204.19.35%20PM.png)

Set Personal access token (classic) to "Allow access via personal access tokens (classic). This will allow you to migrate/mirror your organization projects to Allspice using your personal access token. ![Screen Shot 2023-03-06 at 4.25.16 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/3d44af5c-3f49-4ca5-b152-10836a885c13/Images/Documentation/Screen%20Shot%202023-03-06%20at%204.25.16%20PM.png)
