Disabling the results limit

The 100 results limit can be disabled if it breaks integrations developed using GitLab 12.4 and earlier.

To disable the limit while migrating to using the list a group’s projects endpoint, ask a GitLab administrator with Rails console access to run the following command:

Feature.disable(:limit_projects_in_groups_api)

Remove group

This endpoint either:

Removes group, and queues a background job to delete all projects in the group as well.

DELETE /groups/:id
