# Permissions
Users have different abilities depending on the access level they have in a
2020-01-01 13:55:28 +05:30
particular group or project. If a user is both in a project's group and the
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
project itself, the highest permission level is used.
On public and internal projects the Guest role is not enforced. All users will
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
be able to create issues, leave comments, and clone or download the project code.
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
When a member leaves a team's project, all the assigned [Issues ](project/issues/index.md ) and [Merge Requests ](project/merge_requests/index.md )
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
will be unassigned automatically.
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
GitLab [administrators ](../administration/index.md ) receive all permissions.
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
To add or import a user, you can follow the
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
[project members documentation ](project/members/index.md ).
For information on eligible approvers for Merge Requests, see
[Eligible approvers ](project/merge_requests/merge_request_approvals.md#eligible-approvers ).

## Principles behind permissions
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
See our [product handbook on permissions ](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#permissions-in-gitlab )
2018-10-15 14:42:47 +05:30
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
## 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 ).
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
## Project members permissions
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
NOTE: **Note:**
In GitLab 11.0, the Master role was renamed to Maintainer.
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
While Maintainer is the highest project-level role, some actions can only be performed by a personal namespace or group owner.
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
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
2018-12-05 23:21:45 +05:30
- Everyone: enabled for everyone (only available for GitLab Pages)
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
### Protected branches
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
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
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
[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
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
the [documentation on Cycle Analytics permissions ](analytics/cycle_analytics.md#permissions ).
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
### Issue Board permissions
Developers and users with higher permission level can use all
the functionality of the Issue Board, that is create/delete lists
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
and drag issues around. Read through the
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
[documentation on Issue Boards permissions ](project/issue_board.md#permissions )
to learn more.
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
### File Locking permissions **(PREMIUM)**
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
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.
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
Read through the documentation on [permissions for File Locking ](project/file_lock.md#permissions-on-file-locking ) to learn more.
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
### 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 ).
2019-03-02 22:35:43 +05:30
### Releases permissions
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
[Project Releases ](project/releases/index.md ) can be read by project
members with Reporter, Developer, Maintainer, and Owner permissions.
Guest users can access Release pages for downloading assets but
are not allowed to download the source code nor see repository
information such as tags and commits.
2019-03-02 22:35:43 +05:30
Releases can be created, updated, or deleted via [Releases APIs ](../api/releases/index.md )
by project Developers, Maintainers, and Owners.
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
## Group members permissions
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
NOTE: **Note:**
In GitLab 11.0, the Master role was renamed to Maintainer.
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
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.

2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
- (2): Introduced in GitLab 12.2.
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30

- The [instance level ](admin_area/settings/visibility_and_access_controls.md#default-project-creation-protection ).
- The [group level ](group/index.html#default-project-creation-level ).
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
### 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.
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
To learn more, read through the documentation on
[subgroups memberships ](group/subgroups/index.md#membership ).
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
## External users **(CORE ONLY)**
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
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.
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
External users:
2020-01-01 13:55:28 +05:30
- Cannot create groups, projects, or personal snippets.
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
- Can only access projects to which they are explicitly granted access,
thus hiding all other internal or private ones from them (like being
logged out).
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
Access can be granted by adding the user as member to the project or group.
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
They will, like usual users, receive a role in the project or group with all
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
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
private, they will not have access to the code; you would 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.
2018-12-13 13:39:08 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
NOTE: **Note:**
External users still count towards a license seat.
An administrator can flag a user as external by either of the following methods:
- Either [through the API ](../api/users.md#user-modification ).
- Or by navigating to the **Admin area > Overview > Users** to create a new user
or edit an existing one. There, you will find the option to flag the user as
external.
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
### Setting new users to external
2016-08-24 12:49:21 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
By default, new users are not set as external users. This behavior can be changed
by an administrator under the **Admin Area > Settings > General > Account and limit** page.
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
If you change the default behavior of creating new users as external, you will
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 will be set to internal by default rather than an external collaborator.
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
The regex pattern format is Ruby, but it needs to be convertible to JavaScript,
and the ignore case flag will be set (`/regex pattern/i`). Here are some examples:
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
- 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.
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
CAUTION: **Warning:**
Be aware that this regex could lead to a
[regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) attack ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReDoS ).
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
## Free Guest users **(ULTIMATE)**
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
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 will 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 will
take 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 will have all the abilities that are
mentioned in the [permissions table above ](#project-members-permissions ) (they
will not be able to browse the project's repository for example).
TIP: **Tip:**
To prevent a guest user from creating projects, as an admin, you can edit the
user's profile to mark the user as [external ](#external-users-core-only ).
Beware though that even if a user is external, if they already have Reporter or
higher permissions in any project or group, they will **not** be counted as a
free guest user.

2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
## Auditor users **(PREMIUM ONLY)**
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30

### 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.
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
Read through the documentation on [LDAP users permissions ](../administration/auth/how_to_configure_ldap_gitlab_ee/index.html ) to learn more.
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
## Project aliases
Project aliases can only be read, created and deleted by a GitLab administrator.
Read through the documentation on [Project aliases ](../user/project/index.md#project-aliases-premium-only ) to learn more.
