# Project snippets
|
|
|
|
## Snippet visibility level
|
|
|
|
Snippets in GitLab can be either private, internal or public.
|
|
You can set it with the `visibility` field in the snippet.
|
|
|
|
Constants for snippet visibility levels are:
|
|
|
|
| visibility | Description |
|
|
| ---------- | ----------- |
|
|
| `private` | The snippet is visible only the snippet creator |
|
|
| `internal` | The snippet is visible for any logged in user |
|
|
| `public` | The snippet can be accessed without any authentication |
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
From July 2019, the `Internal` visibility setting is disabled for new projects, groups,
|
|
and snippets on GitLab.com. Existing projects, groups, and snippets using the `Internal`
|
|
visibility setting keep this setting. You can read more about the change in the
|
|
[relevant issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/12388).
