Access management in Managed Service for GitLab

In this section, you will learn:

• Which resources you can assign a role for.
• Which roles exist in the service.
• Which roles are required for particular actions.

To use the service, log in to the management console with a Yandex account or federated account.

About access managementAbout access management

In Yandex Cloud, all transactions are checked in Yandex Identity and Access Management. If a subject does not have the required permission, the service returns an error.

To grant permissions for a resource, assign roles for this resource to the subject that will perform the operations. You can assign roles to a Yandex account, service account, federated users, user group, system group, or public group. For more information, see How access management works in Yandex Cloud.

Roles for a resource can be assigned by users who have the gitlab.admin role or one of the following roles for that resource:

• admin
• resource-manager.admin
• organization-manager.admin
• resource-manager.clouds.owner
• organization-manager.organizations.owner

Which resources you can assign a role forWhich resources you can assign a role for

You can assign a role for an organization, cloud, or folder. Their nested resources will automatically inherit the roles.

Primitive rolesPrimitive roles

Primitive roles allow users to perform actions in all Yandex Cloud services.

auditorauditor

The auditor role grants a permission to read configuration and metadata of any Yandex Cloud resources without any access to data.

For instance, users with this role can:

• View info on a resource.
• View the resource metadata.
• View the list of operations with a resource.

auditor is the most secure role that does not grant any access to the service data. This role suits the users who need minimum access to the Yandex Cloud resources.

viewerviewer

The viewer role grants the permissions to read the info on any Yandex Cloud resources.

This role also includes the auditor permissions.

Unlike auditor, the viewer role provides access to service data in read mode.

editoreditor

The editor role provides permissions to manage any Yandex Cloud resources, except for assigning roles to other users, transferring organization ownership, removing an organization, and deleting Key Management Service encryption keys.

For instance, users with this role can create, modify, and delete resources.

This role also includes the viewer permissions.

adminadmin

The admin role enables assigning any roles, except for resource-manager.clouds.owner and organization-manager.organizations.owner, and provides permissions to manage any Yandex Cloud resources (except for transferring organization ownership and removing an organization).

Prior to assigning the admin role for an organization, cloud, or billing account, make sure to check out the information on protecting privileged accounts.

This role also includes the editor permissions.

Instead of primitive roles, we recommend using service roles. This ensures more selective access control and implementation of the principle of least privilege.

For more information about primitive roles, see the Yandex Cloud role reference.

Roles requiredRoles required

To use the service, you need the gitlab.editor role or higher to the folder where the projects are being created. With the gitlab.viewer role, you can only view the list of the projects and the contents of uploaded files.

To create a Managed Service for GitLab instance, you need the vpc.user role and the gitlab.editor role or higher.

You can always assign a role with more permissions. For instance, you can assign gitlab.admin instead of gitlab.editor.
