Project integration administration

Project integrations can be configured and enabled by project administrators. As a GitLab instance administrator, you can set default configuration parameters for a given integration that all projects can inherit and use, enabling the integration for all projects that are not already using custom settings.

You can update these default settings at any time, changing the settings used for all projects that are set to use instance-level or group-level defaults. Updating the default settings also enables the integration for all projects that didn’t have it already enabled.

Only the entire settings for an integration can be inherited. Per-field inheritance is proposed in epic 2137.

Manage instance-level default settings for a project integration

Prerequisites:

• You must have administrator access to the instance.

To manage instance-level default settings for a project integration:

1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin.
2. Select Settings > Integrations.
3. Select an integration.
4. Complete the fields.
5. Select Save changes.

If this is the first time you are setting up instance-level settings for an integration:

• The integration is enabled for all groups and projects that don’t already have this integration configured, if you have the Enable integration toggle turned on in the instance-level settings.
• Groups and projects that already have the integration configured are not affected, but can choose to use the inherited settings at any time.

When you make further changes to the instance defaults:

• They are immediately applied to all groups and projects that have the integration set to use default settings.
• They are immediately applied to newer groups and projects, created after you last saved defaults for the integration. If your instance-level default setting has the Enable integration toggle turned on, the integration is automatically enabled for all such groups and projects.
• Groups and projects with custom settings selected for the integration are not immediately affected and may choose to use the latest defaults at any time.

If group-level settings have also been configured for the same integration, projects in that group inherit the group-level settings instead of the instance-level settings.

Only the entire settings for an integration can be inherited. Per-field inheritance is proposed in epic 2137.

Remove an instance-level default setting

Prerequisites:

• You must have administrator access to the instance.

To remove an instance-level default setting:

1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin.
2. Select Settings > Integrations.
3. Select an integration.
4. Select Reset and confirm.

Resetting an instance-level default setting removes the integration from all projects that have the integration set to use default settings.

View projects that use custom settings

Prerequisites:

• You must have administrator access to the instance.

To view projects in your instance that use custom settings:

1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin.
2. Select Settings > Integrations.
3. Select an integration.
4. Select the Projects using custom settings tab.
