How to add a user to a project?

How to Use GitLab
1

Hi guys,

currently we test the free plan of gitlab. If I create a group, I can add a user to the group. So far so good. But when I want to add a user to a project. I don’t have a button to add a new user. I just get a list of all users in the project.

What do I wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @MoneyToTheMaker,

You can add the user to the specific project with below steps.

  1. click on project and "Project > Setting " at left side and click on “members”

Hi Kiran,

we use the SaaS Service of gitlab. So our projects are under gitlab.com. In that environment I can’t find the possibility to do that.

Hi did anyone find a way around that ?
I’m also on the gitlab.com instance and have the same issue:
I can add users to the project group:

But when I want to do the same at project level, the option just isn’t there:

Yoiu may note that I’m the owner of the project, so permissions should not be a problem.

To sum it up: I can add a user to a group but not directly to a projec, contrarily to what is stated by the documentation: Members of a project | GitLab

@sgadot-duotec It sounds like you might have Member Lock enabled in one of the parent groups of that project. Can you check?

Many thanks @Tristan that did the job.
I completely forgot that I checked this box during the setup.

It’s all OK now !
