Set up an Audit Report with GraphQL

This page describes how you can use the GraphiQL explorer to set up an audit report for a specific subset of users.

You can run the same query directly via a HTTP endpoint, using cURL. For more information, see our guidance on getting started from the command line.

The example users query looks for a subset of users in a GitLab instance either by username or Global ID. The query includes:

pageInfo

This contains the data needed to implement pagination. GitLab uses cursor-based pagination. For more information, see Pagination in the GraphQL documentation.

nodes

In a GraphQL query, nodes is used to represent a collection of nodes on a graph. In this case, the collection of nodes is a collection of User objects. For each one, we output:

  • Their user's id.
  • The membership fragment, which represents a Project or Group membership belonging to that user. Outputting a fragment is denoted with the ...memberships notation.

The GitLab GraphQL API is extensive and a large amount of data for a wide variety of entities can be output. See the official reference documentation for the most up-to-date information.

Set up the GraphiQL explorer

This procedure presents a substantive example that you can copy and paste into GraphiQL explorer. GraphiQL explorer is available for:

  1. Copy the following code excerpt:

    {
      users(usernames: ["user1", "user2", "user3"]) {
        pageInfo {
          endCursor
          startCursor
          hasNextPage
        }
        nodes {
          id
          ...memberships
        }
      }
    }
    
    fragment membership on MemberInterface {
      createdAt
      updatedAt
      accessLevel {
        integerValue
        stringValue
      }
      createdBy {
        id
      }
    }
    
    fragment memberships on User {
      groupMemberships {
        nodes {
          ...membership
          group {
            id
            name
          }
        }
      }
    
      projectMemberships {
        nodes {
          ...membership
          project {
            id
            name
          }
        }
      }
    }
    
  2. Open the GraphiQL explorer tool.

  3. Paste the query listed above into the left window of your GraphiQL explorer tool.

  4. Click Play to get the result shown here:

GraphiQL explorer search for boards

NOTE: Note: The GraphQL API returns a GlobalID, rather than a standard ID. It also expects a GlobalID as an input rather than a single integer.

This GraphQL query returns the groups and projects that the user has been explicitly made a member of. Since the GraphiQL explorer uses the session token to authorize access to resources, the output is limited to the projects and groups accessible to the currently signed-in user.

If you've signed in as an instance administrator, you would have access to all records, regardless of ownership.
