Role Management

Description of basic features

Role Management

Under "(1) Members," additional people can be assigned to a group or project. Invitations are sent using the "(2) Invite Members" button. The invited person needs a git.nrw account. The account is created during the first login via the university’s SSO. For external persons, a git.nrw guest account must be created.

Functions 1 and 2 are marked in the image.

Members must be assigned a role that defines their permissions. The appropriate roles must be decided individually for each project. The highest permission levels are “Owner” and “Maintainer”. These roles are typically assigned to the person or team responsible for managing and maintaining the group or creating the project. For regular participants, the role “Planner” is recommended. A summary of the permissions is shown in the table below. A more detailed description is available in the GitLab documentation: Role Permissions .
