GitLab Repository Management

Using and understanding different roles

In GitLab, four different roles exist, which can be applied to projects. The roles are split into:

• Guests
• Reporters
• Developer
• Master

They are designed to fulfill different parts of the development process and should be used meaningfully. It can be important to limit access to certain parts according to the competencies a team member represents.

This table shows an overview of the available roles:
