Instructions for Admins

Instructions for Admins#

Subgroup Structure#

All projects should be created in subgroups, so the group leaders can keep the overview.

Visibility#

The SWW-group and subgroups have “public” visibility. This makes it possible to make projects publicly accessible.

When starting a new project, select visibility “private” and leave it up to the user to make it public.

The settings can be changed anytime under Settings → General → Visibility.

Admin: Adding a new member to the GitLab#

  1. User requests login by logging into gitlab.eawag.ch with EDU-ID

  2. Confirm the invitation and assign “Reporter” permissions under:

Groups → SWW → Manage → Members → Invite members

or

Groups → SWW → Manage → Members → Invite members

  1. Assign additional permissions based on the user’s expected projects.

Admin / Subgroup Admin: Granting subgroup or project permissions#

To grant permissions:

  • Navigate to the subgroup or project and invite members with the desired permissions.

  • Conditions: - Permissions cannot be lower than those of the parent group. - You need “Maintainer” or “Owner” rights for the subgroup/project. - You cannot grant higher permissions than you have.
