Invitations API (FREE)
Use the Invitations API to send email to users you want to join a group or project, and to list pending invitations.
Valid access levels
To send an invitation, you must have access to the project or group you are sending email for. Valid access
levels are defined in the Gitlab::Access
module. Currently, these levels are valid:
- No access (
0
) - Minimal access (
5
) (Introduced in GitLab 13.5.) - Guest (
10
) - Reporter (
20
) - Developer (
30
) - Maintainer (
40
) - Owner (
50
) - Only valid to set for groups
WARNING:
Due to an issue,
projects in personal namespaces don't show owner (50
) permission.
