Description

Groups and projects for teams getting started with GitLab

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/

A

Hi this is Martin Technical Account Manager at gitlab. Today, I will show you how groups and projects working get lab afterwards cause that will give you a quick demo on how to set up your own projects and organize them in groups. We will be looking at what groups and projects are in, get lab what they are used for, how to manage users in these groups and projects, and the demo will show you how to set up groups and projects and get lab yourself first.

A

The repository is where the files you work, or not- wrecked and versioned, to enable working on it collaboratively that is the code, documentation and configuration now. The repository is only part of a project. The project is the core building block where work is organized and managed in issues where code is reviewed and merge requests and where the software is built and delivered in CI, CD and the project, we also have the people working on it with their specific permissions. These are the project members. A group is a collection of projects.

A

An amount of projects can be filed under group. In addition to that, you can also add members to a group. You can use groups to organize related projects, add members to the group and so grant access to all projects at once. You can also use groups to organize teams, grouping people that work together, there's useful to add a whole team to a project or to add mention all members of that group in issues and mesh requests.

A

Groups can be configured and get lab or you can sync them from an external authentication provider like out up groups also have additional features like epics Group issue boards to manage to contain projects on a higher level.

A

You can create subgroups in the group subgroups address groups that allow you to organize and manage the teams, team members and projects across your organization even better. Now, let's take a closer look at the permissions group. Permissions of the members define the minimum permissions in subgroups and projects. Minimum permission means that if he users both in a projects group and the project itself, the highest permission level is used. Let's look at an example: here we have Jack who was developed in the group.

A

That means at the minimum he will have the developer role in all contained projects, subgroups their projects and so on automatically. Of course, permissions and groups and subgroups can be raised separately and users from outside the group can be added to individual subgroups and projects as well.

A

Above the groups, we have to get Levinson's itself, it can contain multiple groups.

A

It can also contain the personal namespaces of the members which, unlike groups, have neither direct members nor group features just personal projects and finally, all users registered indicate Levinson's can be seen and administered here now, as that, we'll show you how to set up your own projects and organize them in groups.

B

Now that we've seen what groups are and why do we use them? Let's see this in action in the gitlab UI here I have a group that I have created to hold my users. Sometimes it makes sense to have separate groups to manage projects or users. Such is the case, for example, when syncing LDAP user groups into get lab. In my case, I have the old users group with no direct members under it. I have two sub groups: each contains users to view the group's members.

B

Click on the members in the group side, menu.

B

I will now create a group to manage all my projects to create a group: either click the plus icon from the top bar or use the new group button when creating a group I can choose its visibility, level, private, internal or public. This will impact any of the sub groups or the projects in that group.

B

Now I want to create my first project in the old project group to create a project: either click the plus icon from the top bar or use the green button.

B

To view the projects members go to settings than members from the project sidebar.

B

Currently we have no members besides the one who created that project. Let's add members to our project. First I want to add all my developers to add a group of users to a project. Go to the invite group tab choose the group, choose the role and click invite.

B

Now I want to add a single user under the invite tab, I find the user, choose the role and the optional expiration date and invite them.

B

Now I can see my projects. Members I can also add members as groups or single users directly on the group level.

B

Those group level members will have access to all the subgroups and projects in that group.

B

When viewing my project, members I can view all the members only the direct members, or only the inherited ones,.
