Read-only namespaces
- Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate
- Offering: GitLab.com
On GitLab.com, a top-level namespace is placed in a read-only state when it either:
- Exceeds the free user limit when the namespace visibility is private.
- Exceeds the storage usage quota, regardless of namespace visibility.
While a namespace is in a read-only state, a banner appears at the top of the page.
Your ability to write new data to read-only namespaces is restricted. For more information, see Restricted actions.
Remove the read-only state
To restore a namespace to its standard state, you can:
- For exceeded free user limits:
- Reduce the number of members in your namespace.
- Start a free trial, which includes an unlimited number of members.
- Purchase a paid tier.
