## Valid access levels
2016-06-23 11:14:31 -04:00
The access levels are defined in the `Gitlab::Access` module. Currently, these levels are recognized:
2020-06-08 17:09:17 -04:00
- No access (`0`)
2020-12-14 16:09:47 -05:00
- Minimal access (`5`) ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220203) in GitLab 13.5.)
2020-06-08 17:09:17 -04:00
- Guest (`10`)
- Reporter (`20`)
- Developer (`30`)
- Maintainer (`40`)
- Owner (`50`) - Only valid to set for groups
2020-12-04 16:09:29 -05:00
WARNING:
2020-06-08 17:09:17 -04:00
Due to [an issue ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219299 ),
2020-11-19 16:09:07 -05:00
projects in personal namespaces don't show owner (`50`) permission
2020-06-08 17:09:17 -04:00
for owner.
2016-06-23 11:14:31 -04:00
2020-07-24 14:09:45 -04:00
## Limitations
The `group_saml_identity` attribute is only visible to a group owner for [SSO enabled groups ](../user/group/saml_sso/index.md ).
2021-08-06 14:09:57 -04:00
The `email` attribute is only visible for users with public emails.
2020-07-24 14:09:45 -04:00

## List memberships for a billable member of a group
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/321560) in GitLab 13.11.
Gets a list of memberships for a billable member of a group.
Lists all projects and groups a user is a member of. Only projects and groups within the group hierarchy are included.
For instance, if the requested group is `Root Group` , and the requested user is a direct member of both `Root Group / Sub Group One` and `Other Group / Sub Group Two` , then only `Root Group / Sub Group One` will be returned, because `Other Group / Sub Group Two` is not within the `Root Group` hierarchy.
The response represents only direct memberships. Inherited memberships are not included.
This API endpoint works on top-level groups only. It does not work on subgroups.
2021-09-22 11:12:06 -04:00
This API endpoint requires permission to administer memberships for the group.
2021-04-14 14:09:18 -04:00
2021-06-28 11:08:03 -04:00
This API endpoint takes [pagination ](index.md#pagination ) parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of memberships.

## List pending members of a group and its subgroups and projects
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/332596) in GitLab 14.6.
For a group and its subgroups and projects, get a list of all members in an `awaiting` state and those who are invited but do not have a GitLab account.
This request returns all matching group and project members from all groups and projects in the root group's hierarchy.
When the member is an invited user that has not signed up for a GitLab account yet, the invited email address is returned.
This API endpoint works on top-level groups only. It does not work on subgroups.
This API endpoint requires permission to administer members for the group.
This API endpoint takes [pagination ](index.md#pagination ) parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of members.
