Creating users (FREE SELF)

You can create users:

• Manually through the sign in page or Admin Area.
• Automatically through user authentication integrations.

Create users on sign in page

If you have sign-up enabled, users can create their own accounts by selecting "Register now" on the sign-in page, or navigate to https://gitlab.example.com/users/sign_up.

Create users in Admin Area

As an admin user, you can manually create users by:

1. Navigating to Admin Area > Overview > Users (/admin/users page).
2. Selecting the New User button.

You can also create users through the API as an admin.

Create users through authentication integrations

Users will be:

• Automatically created upon first sign in with the LDAP integration.
• Created when first signing in via an OmniAuth provider if the allow_single_sign_on setting is present.
• Created when first signing with Group SAML
• Automatically created by SCIM when the user is created in the identity provider.
