Using LDAP groups to assign roles to the members of those groups in Gitlab projects
Created by: nielsbasjes
[Enhancement/Feature request] I have gitlab connected using LDAP and in the corporate directory groups of users have been defined. I would like to be able to assign a specific role to anyone who logs in using LDAP and is part of such a centrally defined group.
So for example I have a project "Foo" that is developed by the people in team "Bar". The actual users who are right now part of the group "Bar" is defined in the LDAP. I want to say in Gitlab that all members of team "Bar" have the Developer role in project "Foo".
What is important here is that if a person changes teams (which is a change done in the directory server) then they automatically no longer have access to certain projects (of their old team) and automatically gain access to other projects (of their new team).
