Iteration 2: View a list of roles (default and custom)

Release notes

Problem to solve

Customers don't have the ability to centrally view which roles are assigned to users. This causes friction to help organizations achieve Principle of Least Privilege, for example, to see how many Owners are assigned across the multiple groups and projects in an organization.

Questions they ask:

• How many Owners and Maintainers are assigned in my GitLab environment?
• How many Guest are assigned? Important as these may be contractors or external users.

Proposal

An admin or owner can view a list of roles, both default and custom. The user can quickly assess how many Owners, Guests, or Custom roles are assigned to users (count). The list exists that includes custom roles. The list will now include default roles and assigned user count.

Default roles: Minimal access, Guest, Reporter, Developer, Maintainer, Owner

Custom roles: Exists today, dynamic.

Intended users

• Group owners and administrators
