# Custom instance-level project templates **(PREMIUM SELF)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/6860) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.2.
|
|
|
|
GitLab administrators can set a group to be the source of project templates that are
|
|
selectable when a new project is created on the instance. These templates can be selected
|
|
when you go to **New project > Create from template** and select the **Instance** tab.
|
|
|
|
Every project in the group, but not its subgroups, can be selected when a new project
|
|
is created, based on the user's access permissions:
|
|
|
|
- Public projects can be selected by any signed-in user as a template for a new project,
|
|
if all enabled [project features](../project/settings/index.md#sharing-and-permissions)
|
|
except for **GitLab Pages** and **Security & Compliance** are set to **Everyone With Access**.
|
|
The same applies to internal projects.
|
|
- Private projects can be selected only by users who are members of the projects.
|
|
|
|
The **Metrics Dashboard** is set to **Only Project Members** when you create a new project. Make
|
|
sure you change it to **Everyone With Access** before making it a project template.
|
|
|
|
Repository and database information that are copied over to each new project are
|
|
identical to the data exported with the [GitLab Project Import/Export](../project/settings/import_export.md).
|
|
|
|
To set project templates at the group level, see [Custom group-level project templates](../group/custom_project_templates.md).
|
|
|
|
## Select instance-level project template group
|
|
|
|
To select the group to use as the source for the project templates:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, navigate to **Menu > Admin > Settings > Templates**.
|
|
1. Expand **Custom project templates**.
|
|
1. Select a group to use.
|
|
1. Select **Save changes**.
|
|
|
|
Projects in subgroups of the template group are **not** included in the template list.
|
|
|
|
<!-- ## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
|
|
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
|
|
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
|
|
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
|
|
questions that you know someone might ask.
|
|
|
|
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
|
|
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
|
|
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
