# Permissions and roles
|
|
|
|
Users have different abilities depending on the role they have in a
|
|
particular group or project. If a user is both in a project's group and the
|
|
project itself, the highest role is used.
|
|
|
|
On [public and internal projects](../api/projects.md#project-visibility-level), the Guest role
|
|
(not to be confused with [Guest user](#free-guest-users)) is not enforced.
|
|
|
|
When a member leaves a team's project, all the assigned [issues](project/issues/index.md) and
|
|
[merge requests](project/merge_requests/index.md) are automatically unassigned.
|
|
|
|
GitLab [administrators](../administration/index.md) receive all permissions.
|
|
|
|
To add or import a user, you can follow the
|
|
[project members documentation](project/members/index.md).
|
|
|
|
## Principles behind permissions
|
|
|
|
See our [product handbook on permissions](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/gitlab-the-product/#permissions-in-gitlab).
|
|
|
|
## Instance-wide user permissions
|
|
|
|
By default, users can create top-level groups and change their
|
|
usernames. A GitLab administrator can configure the GitLab instance to
|
|
[modify this behavior](../administration/user_settings.md).
|
|
|
|
## Project members permissions
|
|
|
|
The Owner role is only available at the group or personal namespace level (and for instance administrators) and is inherited by its projects.
|
|
While Maintainer is the highest project-level role, some actions can only be performed by a personal namespace or group owner, or an instance administrator, who receives all permissions.
|
|
For more information, see [projects members documentation](project/members/index.md).
|
|
|
|
The following table lists project permissions available for each role:
|
|
|
|
<!-- Keep this table sorted: By topic first, then by minimum role, then alphabetically. -->
|
|
|
|
| Action | Guest | Reporter | Developer | Maintainer | Owner |

1. On self-managed GitLab instances, guest users are able to perform this action only on
|
|
public and internal projects (not on private projects). [External users](#external-users)
|
|
must be given explicit access even if the project is internal. For GitLab.com, see the
|
|
[GitLab.com visibility settings](gitlab_com/index.md#visibility-settings).
|
|
1. Guest users can only view the [confidential issues](project/issues/confidential_issues.md) they created themselves.
|
|
1. If **Public pipelines** is enabled in **Project Settings > CI/CD**.
|
|
1. Not allowed for Guest, Reporter, Developer, Maintainer, or Owner. See [protected branches](project/protected_branches.md).
|
|
1. If the [branch is protected](project/protected_branches.md), this depends on the access Developers and Maintainers are given.
|
|
1. Guest users can access GitLab [**Releases**](project/releases/index.md) for downloading assets but are not allowed to download the source code nor see repository information like tags and commits.
|
|
1. Actions are limited only to records owned (referenced) by user.
|
|
1. When [Share Group Lock](group/index.md#prevent-a-project-from-being-shared-with-groups) is enabled the project can't be shared with other groups. It does not affect group with group sharing.
|
|
1. For information on eligible approvers for merge requests, see
|
|
[Eligible approvers](project/merge_requests/approvals/rules.md#eligible-approvers).
|
|
1. Applies only to comments on [Design Management](project/issues/design_management.md) designs.
|
|
1. Users can only view events based on their individual actions.
|
|
1. Project access tokens are supported for self-managed instances on Free and above. They are also
|
|
supported on GitLab SaaS Premium and above (excluding [trial licenses](https://about.gitlab.com/free-trial/)).
|
|
1. If the [tag is protected](#release-permissions-with-protected-tags), this depends on the access Developers and Maintainers are given.
|
|
1. A Maintainer can't change project features visibility level if
|
|
[project visibility](../public_access/public_access.md) is set to private.
|
|
1. Attached design files are moved together with the issue even if the user doesn't have the
|
|
Developer role.
|
|
1. Guest users can set metadata (for example, labels, assignees, or milestones) when creating an issue.

## Project features permissions
|
|
|
|
### Wiki and issues
|
|
|
|
Project features like [wikis](project/wiki/index.md) and issues can be hidden from users depending on
|
|
which visibility level you select on project settings.
|
|
|
|
- Disabled: disabled for everyone
|
|
- Only team members: only team members can see even if your project is public or internal
|
|
- Everyone with access: everyone can see depending on your project's visibility level
|
|
- Everyone: enabled for everyone (only available for GitLab Pages)
|
|
|
|
### Protected branches
|
|
|
|
Additional restrictions can be applied on a per-branch basis with [protected branches](project/protected_branches.md).
|
|
Additionally, you can customize permissions to allow or prevent project
|
|
Maintainers and Developers from pushing to a protected branch. Read through the documentation on
|
|
[protected branches](project/protected_branches.md)
|
|
to learn more.
|
|
|
|
### Value Stream Analytics permissions

1. Groups can be set to [allow either Owners or Owners and
|
|
Maintainers to create subgroups](group/subgroups/index.md#creating-a-subgroup)
|
|
1. Introduced in GitLab 12.2.
|
|
1. Default project creation role can be changed at:
|
|
- The [instance level](admin_area/settings/visibility_and_access_controls.md#define-which-roles-can-create-projects).
|
|
- The [group level](group/index.md#specify-who-can-add-projects-to-a-group).
|
|
1. Does not apply to subgroups.
|
|
1. Developers can push commits to the default branch of a new project only if the [default branch protection](group/index.md#change-the-default-branch-protection-of-a-group) is set to "Partially protected" or "Not protected".
|
|
1. In addition, if your group is public or internal, all users who can see the group can also see group wiki pages.
|
|
1. Users can only view events based on their individual actions.
|
|
|
|
### Subgroup permissions
|
|
|
|
When you add a member to a subgroup, they inherit the membership and
|
|
permission level from the parent group(s). This model allows access to
|
|
nested groups if you have membership in one of its parents.
|
|
|
|
To learn more, read through the documentation on
|
|
[subgroups memberships](group/subgroups/index.md#membership).
|
|
|
|
## External users **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
In cases where it is desired that a user has access only to some internal or
|
|
private projects, there is the option of creating **External Users**. This
|
|
feature may be useful when for example a contractor is working on a given
|
|
project and should only have access to that project.
|
|
|
|
External users:
|
|
|
|
- Can only create projects (including forks), subgroups, and snippets within the top-level group to which they belong.
|
|
- Can only access public projects and projects to which they are explicitly granted access,
|
|
thus hiding all other internal or private ones from them (like being
|
|
logged out).
|
|
- Can only access public groups and groups to which they are explicitly granted access,
|
|
thus hiding all other internal or private ones from them (like being
|
|
logged out).
|
|
- Can only access public snippets.
|
|
|
|
Access can be granted by adding the user as member to the project or group.
|
|
Like usual users, they receive a role in the project or group with all
|
|
the abilities that are mentioned in the [permissions table above](#project-members-permissions).
|
|
For example, if an external user is added as Guest, and your project is internal or
|
|
private, they do not have access to the code; you need to grant the external
|
|
user access at the Reporter level or above if you want them to have access to the code. You should
|
|
always take into account the
|
|
[project's visibility and permissions settings](project/settings/index.md#sharing-and-permissions)
|
|
as well as the permission level of the user.
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
External users still count towards a license seat.
|
|
|
|
An administrator can flag a user as external by either of the following methods:
|
|
|
|
- [Through the API](../api/users.md#user-modification).
|
|
- Using the GitLab UI:
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Overview > Users** to create a new user or edit an existing one.
|
|
There, you can find the option to flag the user as external.
|
|
|
|
Additionally users can be set as external users using [SAML groups](../integration/saml.md#external-groups)
|
|
and [LDAP groups](../administration/auth/ldap/index.md#external-groups).
|
|
|
|
### Setting new users to external
|
|
|
|
By default, new users are not set as external users. This behavior can be changed
|
|
by an administrator:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
|
|
1. Expand the **Account and limit** section.
|
|
|
|
If you change the default behavior of creating new users as external, you
|
|
have the option to narrow it down by defining a set of internal users.
|
|
The **Internal users** field allows specifying an email address regex pattern to
|
|
identify default internal users. New users whose email address matches the regex
|
|
pattern are set to internal by default rather than an external collaborator.
|
|
|
|
The regex pattern format is in Ruby, but it needs to be convertible to JavaScript,
|
|
and the ignore case flag is set (`/regex pattern/i`). Here are some examples:
|
|
|
|
- Use `\.internal@domain\.com$` to mark email addresses ending with
|
|
`.internal@domain.com` as internal.
|
|
- Use `^(?:(?!\.ext@domain\.com).)*$\r?` to mark users with email addresses
|
|
NOT including `.ext@domain.com` as internal.
|
|
|
|
WARNING:
|
|
Be aware that this regex could lead to a
|
|
[regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReDoS).
|
|
|
|
## Free Guest users **(ULTIMATE)**
|
|
|
|
When a user is given Guest permissions on a project, group, or both, and holds no
|
|
higher permission level on any other project or group on the GitLab instance,
|
|
the user is considered a guest user by GitLab and does not consume a license seat.
|
|
There is no other specific "guest" designation for newly created users.
|
|
|
|
If the user is assigned a higher role on any projects or groups, the user
|
|
takes a license seat. If a user creates a project, the user becomes a Maintainer
|
|
on the project, resulting in the use of a license seat. Also, note that if your
|
|
project is internal or private, Guest users have all the abilities that are
|
|
mentioned in the [permissions table above](#project-members-permissions) (they
|
|
are unable to browse the project's repository, for example).
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
To prevent a guest user from creating projects, as an administrator, you can edit the
|
|
user's profile to mark the user as [external](#external-users).
|
|
Beware though that even if a user is external, if they already have Reporter or
|
|
higher permissions in any project or group, they are **not** counted as a
|
|
free guest user.
|
|
|
|
## Auditor users **(PREMIUM SELF)**
|
|
|
|
Auditor users are given read-only access to all projects, groups, and other
|
|
resources on the GitLab instance.
|
|
|
|
An Auditor user should be able to access all projects and groups of a GitLab instance
|
|
with the permissions described on the documentation on [auditor users permissions](../administration/auditor_users.md#permissions-and-restrictions-of-an-auditor-user).
|
|
|
|
[Read more about Auditor users.](../administration/auditor_users.md)
|
|
|
|
## Users with minimal access **(PREMIUM)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/40942) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 13.4.
|
|
|
|
Owners can add members with a "minimal access" role to a parent group. Such users don't
|
|
automatically have access to projects and subgroups underneath. To support such access, owners must explicitly add these "minimal access" users to the specific subgroups/projects.
|
|
|
|
Users with minimal access can list the group in the UI and through the API. However, they cannot see
|
|
details such as projects or subgroups. They do not have access to the group's page or list any of its subgroups or projects.
|
|
|
|
### Minimal access users take license seats
|
|
|
|
Users with even a "minimal access" role are counted against your number of license seats. This
|
|
requirement does not apply for [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/)
|
|
subscriptions.
|
|
|
|
## Project features
|
|
|
|
Project features like wiki and issues can be hidden from users depending on
|
|
which visibility level you select on project settings.
|
|
|
|
- Disabled: disabled for everyone
|
|
- Only team members: only team members will see even if your project is public or internal
|
|
- Everyone with access: everyone can see depending on your project visibility level
|
|
- Everyone: enabled for everyone (only available for GitLab Pages)
|
|
|
|
## GitLab CI/CD permissions
|
|
|
|
GitLab CI/CD permissions rely on the role the user has in GitLab. There are four
|
|
roles:
|
|
|
|
- Administrator
|
|
- Maintainer
|
|
- Developer
|
|
- Guest/Reporter
|
|
|
|
The Administrator role can perform any action on GitLab CI/CD in scope of the GitLab
|
|
instance and project.

## Running pipelines on protected branches
|
|
|
|
The permission to merge or push to protected branches is used to define if a user can
|
|
run CI/CD pipelines and execute actions on jobs that are related to those branches.
|
|
|
|
See [Security on protected branches](../ci/pipelines/index.md#pipeline-security-on-protected-branches)
|
|
for details about the pipelines security model.
|
|
|
|
## Release permissions with protected tags
|
|
|
|
[The permission to create tags](project/protected_tags.md) is used to define if a user can
|
|
create, edit, and delete [Releases](project/releases/index.md).
|
|
|
|
See [Release permissions](project/releases/index.md#release-permissions)
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
## LDAP users permissions
|
|
|
|
LDAP user permissions can be manually overridden by an administrator.
|
|
Read through the documentation on [LDAP users permissions](group/index.md#manage-group-memberships-via-ldap) to learn more.
|
|
|
|
## Project aliases
|
|
|
|
Project aliases can only be read, created and deleted by a GitLab administrator.
|
|
Read through the documentation on [Project aliases](../user/project/import/index.md#project-aliases) to learn more.
