Allow avatar customization for group or project access token bot users on GitLab.com SaaS
Problem to solve
On GitLab.com SaaS there isn't currently any method for users to modify the avatars that are set for bot users generated as a result of creating:
GitLab Administrators are able to update these avatars via the Users API, or via editing a user from within the Admin area dashboard - however, this is only possible on a self-managed GitLab instance, since it's not possible to give Administrator access to GitLab.com users.
A customer has asked about this ability, as they'd like to use it as an additional way to differentiate bot users from real users throughout the UI.
MVC Proposal
- Change avatar for access token bot accounts, to use the
token
icon.
Before | After |
---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
- Next iteration, bring the Self Managed feature of allowing admins to change user (bot) icons to the SaaS environment.
