I don't see Runners in the CI/CD section. Do I need special permissions for that?

<p>I have a GitLab repository.
I want to add a runner to it.
I was able to install it, with the instruction <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/linux-manually.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> without Docker (step 3).</p>

<p>Now I have to register it according to the instructions <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. In the beggining of that file it is wrriten that I have to obtain a token, but I don’t understand where do I obtain the token from.</p>

<p>In <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/runners/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this link</a> it is wrriten that
I can get the token from <code>CI/CD -&gt; settings</code>
but <code>CI/CD</code> does not have a <code>settings</code> option.</p>

<p>Also, in the registration instruction in step 2, it is written:
<code>Please enter the gitlab-ci coordinator URL</code> but there is no documentation anywhere about what is this URL</p>

# Where to obtain the token to register a GitLab runner?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-07-26)

I have a GitLab repository.
I want to add a runner to it.
I was able to install it, with the instruction [here](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/linux-manually.html) without Docker (step 3).

Now I have to register it according to the instructions [here](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/). In the beggining of that file it is wrriten that I have to obtain a token, but I don’t understand where do I obtain the token from.

In [this link](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/runners/) it is wrriten that
I can get the token from `CI/CD -> settings`
but `CI/CD` does not have a `settings` option.

Also, in the registration instruction in step 2, it is written:
`Please enter the gitlab-ci coordinator URL` but there is no documentation anywhere about what is this URL

For a specific GitLab runner tied to a project, the token can be found in Step 3; in `Project -> Settings -> CI/CD -> Runners` in the `Setup a specific Runner manually` section.

You will also be able to find the URL which you need to use to register the runner in Step 2.
