GitLab can be configured to require confirmation of a user's email address when
|
|
|
|
|
the user signs up. When this setting is enabled, the user is unable to sign in until
|
|
|
|
|
they confirm their email address.

<!-- ## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
|
|
|
|
|
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
|
|
|
|
|
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
|
|
|
|
|
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
|
|
|
|
|
questions that you know someone might ask.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
|
|
|
|
|
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
|
|
|
|
|
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
