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.
