Sign-up restrictions

By implementing sign-up restrictions, you can blacklist or whitelist email addresses belonging to specific domains.

Note

: These restrictions are only applied during sign-up. An admin is able to add a user through the admin panel with a disallowed domain. Also note that the users can change their email addresses after signup to disallowed domains.

Whitelist email domains

Introduced in GitLab 7.11.0

You can restrict users to only signup using email addresses matching the given domains list.

Blacklist email domains

Introduced in GitLab 8.10.

With this feature enabled, you can block email addresses of a specific domain from creating an account on your GitLab server. This is particularly useful to prevent spam. Disposable email addresses are usually used by malicious users to create dummy accounts and spam issues.

Settings

To access this feature:

  1. Navigate to the Settings > General in the Admin area.
  2. Expand the Sign-up restrictions section.

For the:

  • Blacklist, you can enter the list manually, or upload a .txt file with it.
  • Whitelist you must enter the list manually.

Both the whitelist and blacklist accept wildcards. For example, you can use *.company.com to accept every company.com subdomain, or *.io to block all domains ending in .io. Domains should be separated by a whitespace, semicolon, comma, or a new line.
