Bot users for groups are shown taking up a billable seat
Summary
According to the documentation bot users for groups and projects should not take up a seat. Group -> Settings -> Usage Quotas shows bot users taking up a seat.
This appears to only be an issue for gitlab.com. In self managed instances it appears that the users are not taking up a seat.
Steps to reproduce
- In a gitlab.com group with premium license or higher navigate to
Settings->Usage Quotasand make note of how many users there are. - Navigate to
Settings -> Access tokensand create an access token - Navigate back to
Settings->Usage Quotas. TheUsers occupying seats in <group name> Groupwill have increased
