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 either:

• Selecting the Register now link on the sign-in page.
• Navigating to https://gitlab.example.com/users/sign_up.

Create users in Admin Area

As an Admin user, you can manually create users:

1. On the top bar, select Menu > {admin} Admin.
2. On the left sidebar, select Overview > Users (/admin/users).
3. Select New user.

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

Create users through authentication integrations

Users are:

• Automatically created upon first sign in with the LDAP integration.
• Created when first signing in using 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.
