Groups without direct Owner

How to Use GitLab

Problem to solve

We have the requirement to not assign direct members to our software groups and configure all access rights by putting people in LDAP groups.

So we created LDAP groups and added them as group members to our Software Groups. That worked as intended. After that, we tried to remove the direct membership of the person that created the software Group and got the error “A group must have at least one owner.”. The Group does have other owners but the other owners are inherited.

Is it not possible to only have inherited owners?
