About

Group file-based export/import is currently always enabled.

This is unlike project file-based export/import which can be controlled by admin settings (go to /admin/application_settings/general, and expand Import and export settings):

  • Project import is only enabled when the GitLab export import source is enabled (example)
  • Project export is only enabled when the Project export enabled setting is enabled (example)

Proposal

Have group file-based export/import observe the same settings as project file-based export/import.

  1. Update the UI and the API to check these same settings for file-based group export/import (we can refer to project export/import UI and API for where to update for groups).
  2. Rename the Project export enabled checkbox in the admin UI to GitLab file exports enabled
  3. We could possibly rename GitLab export import source in the UI to be GitLab file exports at the same time
  4. Update documentation
