Short guides
How to invite existing GitLab member to project
In order to invite existing members to an existing project first we need to go to the project itself. Than click on Settings > Members > Invite member tab.
Select a member, choose a role permission, expiration date if needed and click Add to project. Shortly after, an email should arrive at the email address of the invited member.
How to setup a new project and invite project members
