The only option to import a group should be using GitLab Migration. ## Illustrations  ## Further considerations * Remove ability to export groups from UI - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/341282 * Remove the ability to export groups using API - **issue needed** * Remove the ability to import a group file using API - **issue needed** ## Documentation * :book: [Group Export/Import](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/settings/import_export.html) * :book: [GitLab Migration](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/import/)
