Short guides
How to invite people outside GN4-3 project
Important
Please submit a ticket to invite a person (or people) who are not the GN4-3 members but they are going to take part in collaborative software development. GitLab administrator will create accounts on your behalf for all verified people outside the Geant 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:
1. Go to https://gitlab.geant.org/ and login with your credentials.
2. You will be provided with the home page on which you can create your first GitLab project or otherwise it will list the already created ones.
3. You can create a new group and than invite other members to that group in order to collaborate to the assigned project's or directly create a new one. In this case we will create a new group with name "mynewgroup".
4. Now we will add members on mynewgroup and assign the member permissions. More information about members permissions on: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/permissions.html
5. Now that we have added members to mynewgroup we can start create new project. Go to Projects > Your projects > Create a project. Than we can specifie a name (1), the group (2), visibility (3) and Create!
