# Permissions
Users have different abilities depending on the access level they have in a
particular group or project. If a user is both in a group's project and the
project itself, the highest permission level is used.
On public and internal projects the Guest role is not enforced. All users will
be able to create issues, leave comments, and clone or download the project code.
When a member leaves the team all the assigned [Issues](project/issues/index.md) and [Merge Requests](project/merge_requests/index.md)
will be unassigned automatically.
GitLab [administrators](../README.md#administrator-documentation) receive all permissions.
To add or import a user, you can follow the
[project members documentation](../user/project/members/index.md).
## Project members permissions
The following table depicts the various user permission levels in a project.

## Project features permissions
### Wiki and issues
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
### Protected branches
To prevent people from messing with history or pushing code without
review, we've created protected branches. Read through the documentation on
[protected branches](project/protected_branches.md)
to learn more.
Additionally, you can allow or forbid users with Master and/or
Developer permissions to push to a protected branch. Read through the documentation on
[Allowed to Merge and Allowed to Push settings](project/protected_branches.md#using-the-allowed-to-merge-and-allowed-to-push-settings)
to learn more.
### Cycle Analytics permissions
Find the current permissions on the Cycle Analytics dashboard on
the [documentation on Cycle Analytics permissions](project/cycle_analytics.md#permissions).
### Issue Board permissions
Developers and users with higher permission level can use all
the functionality of the Issue Board, that is create/delete lists
and drag issues around. Read though the
[documentation on Issue Boards permissions](project/issue_board.md#permissions)
to learn more.
### File Locking permissions (EEP)
The user that locks a file or directory is the only one that can edit and push their changes back to the repository where the locked objects are located.
Read through the documentation on [permissions for File Locking](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/file_lock.html#permissions-on-file-locking) to learn more.
File Locking is available in
[GitLab Enterprise Edition Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ee/) only.
### Confidential Issues permissions
Confidential issues can be accessed by reporters and higher permission levels,
as well as by guest users that create a confidential issue. To learn more,
read through the documentation on [permissions and access to confidential issues](project/issues/confidential_issues.md#permissions-and-access-to-confidential-issues).
## Group members permissions
Any user can remove themselves from a group, unless they are the last Owner of
the group. The following table depicts the various user permission levels in a
group.
| Action | Guest | Reporter | Developer | Master | Owner |
|-------------------------|-------|----------|-----------|--------|-------|
| Browse group | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Edit group | | | | | ✓ |
| Create subgroup | | | | | ✓ |
| Create project in group | | | | ✓ | ✓ |
| Manage group members | | | | | ✓ |
| Remove group | | | | | ✓ |
| Manage group labels | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Create/edit/delete group milestones | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
### Subgroup permissions
When you add a member to a subgroup, they inherit the membership and
permission level from the parent group. 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 permissions
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 access projects to which they are explicitly granted
access, thus hiding all other internal or private ones from them. Access can be
granted by adding the user as member to the project or group.
They will, like usual users, receive a role in the project or group with all
the abilities that are mentioned in the table above. They cannot however create
groups or projects, and they have the same access as logged out users in all
other cases.
An administrator can flag a user as external [through the API](../api/users.md)
or by checking the checkbox on the admin panel. As an administrator, navigate
to **Admin > Users** to create a new user or edit an existing one. There, you
will find the option to flag the user as external.
By default new users are not set as external users. This behavior can be changed
by an administrator under **Admin > Application Settings**.
## GitLab CI/CD permissions
GitLab CI/CD permissions rely on the role the user has in GitLab. There are four
permission levels in total:
- admin
- master
- developer
- guest/reporter
The admin user can perform any action on GitLab CI/CD in scope of the GitLab
instance and project. In addition, all admins can use the admin interface under
`/admin/runners`.
| Action | Guest, Reporter | Developer | Master | Admin |
|---------------------------------------|-----------------|-------------|----------|--------|
| See commits and jobs | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Retry or cancel job | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Erase job artifacts and trace | | ✓ [^7] | ✓ | ✓ |
| Remove project | | | ✓ | ✓ |
| Create project | | | ✓ | ✓ |
| Change project configuration | | | ✓ | ✓ |
| Add specific runners | | | ✓ | ✓ |
| Add shared runners | | | | ✓ |
| See events in the system | | | | ✓ |
| Admin interface | | | | ✓ |
### Job permissions
>**Note:**
GitLab 8.12 has a completely redesigned job permissions system.
Read all about the [new model and its implications][new-mod].
This table shows granted privileges for jobs triggered by specific types of
users:
| Action | Guest, Reporter | Developer | Master | Admin |
|---------------------------------------------|-----------------|-------------|----------|--------|
| Run CI job | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Clone source and LFS from current project | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |

### New CI job permissions model
GitLab 8.12 has a completely redesigned job permissions system. To learn more,
read through the documentation on the [new CI/CD permissions model](project/new_ci_build_permissions_model.md#new-ci-job-permissions-model).
## 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.md#security-on-protected-branches)
for details about the pipelines security model.
## LDAP users permissions
Since GitLab 8.15, LDAP user permissions can now be manually overridden by an admin user.
Read through the documentation on [LDAP users permissions](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/articles/how_to_configure_ldap_gitlab_ee/index.html#updating-user-permissions-new-feature) to learn more.
## Auditor users permissions (EEP)
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](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/auditor_users.html#permissions-and-restrictions-of-an-auditor-user).
Auditor users are available in [GitLab Enterprise Edition Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ee/)
only.
[^1]: On public and internal projects, all users are able to perform this action.
[^2]: Guest users can only view the confidential issues they created themselves
[^3]: If **Public pipelines** is enabled in **Project Settings > CI/CD**
[^4]: Not allowed for Guest, Reporter, Developer, Master, or Owner
[^5]: Only if user is not external one.
[^6]: Only if user is a member of the project.
[^7]: Only if the build was triggered by the user
