Change a granular_scopes history item from GitLab 19.5 to 19.6
What does this MR do?
The history item that !260958 (merged) added to Create a personal access token for a user in doc/api/user_tokens.md says the granular_scopes parameter and response attribute were introduced in GitLab 19.5. During review it looked like !260958 (merged) would make the 19.5 cut, but it merged on 2026-10-13, after 19-5-stable-ee was cut from master, and it was not backported. This MR changes that item to GitLab 19.6 and changes nothing else.
The evidence:
- At the
v19.5.0-eetag,POST /users/:user_id/personal_access_tokensstill requiresscopesand takes nogranular_scopes, and so does the head of19-5-stable-ee(2230fbf1). It also presents the new token without the option that addsgranular_scopesto the response, so the response attribute is new in 19.6 as well. Onmasterit takes one of the two. 19-5-stable-eebranched frommasterat 1cf78572 (2026-10-12), and its first release candidate,v19.5.0-rc42-ee, was tagged on 2026-10-13 at 12:30 UTC, five hours before !260958 (merged) merged. The merge commit of !260958 (merged), 34b909bf of 2026-10-13, is not in that branch or in any tag.- !260958 (merged) reached GitLab.com production on 2026-10-14, and GitLab.com runs 19.6.0-pre.
The other granular_scopes history items on the page stay as they are: the two that say GitLab 19.2, which !260958 (merged) also added, date changes that shipped in 19.2, and the four that say 19.5 date changes that are in v19.5.0-ee.
!260958 (merged) is on the 19.5 milestone for the same reason. It should read 19.6, and I can't change it, so could a reviewer move it?

Author's checklist
- Optional. Consider taking the GitLab Technical Writing Fundamentals course.
- Follow the:
- If you're adding a new page, add the product availability details under the H1 topic title.
- If you are a GitLab team member, request a review based on:
- The documentation page's metadata.
- The associated Technical Writer.
If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:
~"frontend"~"backend"~"type::bug"~"database"
These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.
Reviewer's checklist
Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.
If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.
- If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
- Technical writer review items:
- Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
- Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
- Ensure a release milestone is set.
- If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
- The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of
Default behavior, say something likeDefault behavior when you close an issue. - The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of
Configuring GDK, say something likeConfigure GDK. - Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
- If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
- The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of
- Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
