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.
