# Public access
|
|
|
|
GitLab allows you to open selected projects to be accessed **publicly** or **internally**.
|
|
|
|
Projects with either of these visibility levels will be listed in the [public access directory](/public).
|
|
|
|
Internal projects will only be available to authenticated users.
|
|
|
|
## Public projects
|
|
|
|
Public projects can be cloned **without any** authentication.
|
|
|
|
It will also be listed on the [public access directory](/public).
|
|
|
|
**Any logged in user** will have [Guest](../permissions/permissions) permissions on the repository.
|
|
|
|
## Internal projects
|
|
|
|
Internal projects can be cloned by any logged in user.
|
|
|
|
It will also be listed on the [public access directory](/public) for logged in users.
|
|
|
|
Any logged in user will have [Guest](../permissions/permissions) permissions on the repository.
|
|
|
|
## How to change project visibility
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your project dashboard
|
|
1. Click on the "Edit" tab
|
|
1. Change "Visibility Level"
|
|
|
|
## Visibility of users
|
|
|
|
The public page of users, located at `/u/username` is visible if either:
|
|
|
|
- You are logged in.
|
|
- You are logged out, and the target user is authorized to (is Guest, Reporter, etc.) at least one public project.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, you will be redirected to the sign in page.
|
|
|
|
When visiting the public page of an user, you will only see listed projects which you can view yourself.
|
|
|
|
## Restricting the use of public or internal projects
|
|
|
|
In [gitlab.yml](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/dbd88d453b8e6c78a423fa7e692004b1db6ea069/config/gitlab.yml.example#L64) you can disable public projects or public and internal projects for the entire GitLab installation to prevent people making code public by accident.
