3. Best Practices for RBAC in GitLab

Security and Compliance

  • Principle of Least Privilege: Assign the minimum permissions necessary for users to perform their tasks. Restrict access to sensitive information and administrative functions based on job roles.
  • Regular Review: Review and update role assignments to align with project requirements and security policies. Ensure permissions are adjusted or revoked promptly when responsibilities change.

Documentation

  • Clear Role Definitions: Document the responsibilities and access levels associated with each role (Owner, Maintainer, Developer, Reporter, Guest) in your GitLab projects.
  • Role Assignment Guidelines: Establish guidelines or a workflow for assigning roles and permissions within GitLab.
  • Documentation Repository: Maintain a centralized repository or wiki page that outlines RBAC policies, procedures, and best practices specific to your organization and GitLab usage.
