```prefect utilities exceptions ClientError path project message field project not found in type query root extensions path $ selectionSet project code validation failed exception message field project not found in type query root ```

John Grubb · Answer

the project exists I just created this user auth token there don t seem to be many places where I could go wrong yet still I do

nicholas · Answer

Hi < John Grubb> did you call `prefect auth login`

John Grubb · Answer

I did passing the token and it tells me ```Auth token already present in config Aborted ```

John Grubb · Answer

Presumably it s referring to the `PREFECT CLOUD AUTH TOKEN` env var

nicholas · Answer

< John Grubb> can you try unsetting that auth token variable wherever you have it set both as the environment variable and in your `config toml` if it s set there and then manually passing it to `prefect auth login t lt YOUR TOKEN gt `

John Grubb · Answer

so that worked

John Grubb · Answer

If I dig into ` prefect client settings toml` I see my API token as well as an `active tenant id` Does that need to be set as an env var as well

John Grubb · Answer

Ooo this new timeline view is slick

nicholas · Answer

Ok great so I think happened is you manually set that variable to a personal access token which can only be used to log in but can t be used for other operations Since `prefect auth login` would normally set that variable it sees that it s already been manually set but doesn t check the type and doesn t perform the login operation

nicholas · Answer

When you unset that variable it can perform the login operation with the personal access token and set your api token as expected

John Grubb · Answer

ok thank you I m still fumbling about with what tokens belong to what scopes The User token cannot perform CLI things like register That wouldn t be an agent token though would it

John Grubb · Answer

Oh a tenant token perhaps Is that what belongs in the `PREFECT CLOUD AUTH TOKEN` env var

nicholas · Answer

You re correct the user token can t perform CLI commands except for `login` and agent tokens are similarly limited

nicholas · Answer

This is something we re actively working on to make the process less confusing stay tuned slightly smiling face

John Grubb · Answer

I certainly will thank you for the help My terrible internet today has provided the motivation to finish moving this POC up to the cloud where it belongs so thank you very much bow
