How To Manage Users and Groups

GitLab gives you the tools to manage projects, users, and groups from one screen. Access it by clicking the "Admin area" button in the top-right corner:

The interface is divided into six sections:

*Create a New User

       Let's start by creating a demonstration user that we can use later. Click on the "New User" button in the middle column:

       click the "Create User" button at the bottom:

      You will be taken to the new user's account page. An email with an initial password will be sent to the account email.

*Create a New Group

       Click on the "Admin area" button again in the top-right corner. Click the "New Group" button in the right column:

       The only thing you need to do to create a group is fill out a name and description. Click the "Create group" button:

       Search for the second username in the box titled "Add user(s) to the group:". You will need to choose an access level for the user as well. For an explanation of the different permission levels available on your GitLab, go here:

         your_domain.com/help/permissions

       For now, it doesn't matter which level you choose. Click "Add users into group" to add their access:

        If you would like to change a user's permission level, you can add the user again with the new permissions. It will update accordingly.
