From YouTube: How to change a bot avatar as an administrator

Description

Related issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213536

A

Hey everyone: my name is austin, I'm a senior product designer here at gitlab. Today I wanted to walk through the steps for adding an avatar to a bot that was created through an access token. um So I'm gonna do this in my local gdk. I'm going to be doing this on version 14.5. I believe I have an ultimate license attached to.

A

I don't think any of those things necessarily matter too much, um but perhaps uh the ability apps are always added in the later version, if you're on an older one, so just to kind of walk through the steps here, I'm going to create a bot, I'm going to call it robocop.

A

um I I'm going to leave the aspiration to open and create the project access token in this project.

A

What this is going to do is generate a token which I'm going to delete it after this video anyway, so it doesn't matter. This is just my local, but there it is down there uh and this is actually going to create a new member in this project.

A

So if I go into the members list, so by going to project information going to members.

A

I'll be able to find the user's name, um it's a relatively small project. So it's pretty easy for me to find this. So there it is project bot project underscore two bought one, I'm just going to copy that for ease of use. Now, since I am running this as an administrator, so I'm specifically an administrator in git lab uh in my gdk environment, I'm gonna go into the admin area and I go to overview and then go down to users. I can then search for a user I'll. Do that didn't find it. Let's try again.

A

There we go okay, so there's there's robocop, I'm gonna go um into the actual user itself, and this is where you get the user administration area um and there's an edit button. So I'm going to edit.

A

And then, if I scroll down under profile, there's an option to pick an avatar.

A

So I'm going to pick the avatar that I was hoping to make.

A

And there we go so robocop now has a avatar next to it and we'll refresh the members list and see if that appears here.

A

There we are so every time you create this access token. um The only person's gonna have access, so I think editing this will be an administrator. I don't think, there's anybody else that will have the ability to do that so uh right now. That would not work if you're on gitlab.com the sas platform, um there's no administrators. That will do that right now.

A

But if you are on self-managed- and you happen to have access to your administrator or get to the admin area yourself, then you can go and update those bots as you'd like and that's it.
