Modifying global user settings
GitLab administrators can modify user settings for the entire GitLab instance.
Disallow users creating top-level groups
By default, new users can create top-level groups. To disable this, modify the appropriate configuration file, and then reconfigure and restart GitLab.
For Omnibus installations, add the following to /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb:
gitlab_rails['gitlab_default_can_create_group'] = false
For source installations, uncomment the following line in config/gitlab.yml:
# default_can_create_group: false # default: true
Disallow users changing usernames
By default, new users can change their usernames. To disable this, modify the appropriate configuration file, and then reconfigure and restart GitLab.
For Omnibus installations, add the following to /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb:
gitlab_rails['gitlab_username_changing_enabled'] = false
For source installations, uncomment the following line in config/gitlab.yml:
# username_changing_enabled: false # default: true - User can change their username/namespace
