Editing group guest permissions.

Closed

Editing group guest permissions.

Created by: FezVrasta

I'm trying to allowing the guests of any group to create new projects.

I've edited /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/models/ability.rb:191
replacing rules = [] with rules = [ :create_projects ].

Then I've edited /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/helpers/namespaces_helper.rb:3
replacing the row with groups = current_user.authorized_groups.

And finally I've edited /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/models/user.rb:379 appending || authorized_groups.any?.

In this way now guests of the groups can create new projects with the namespaces of the groups.

The problem is that they are not set as owners of the repository they create, how can I fix this last problem? Any idea?

Disclaimer: I'm doing this because I need to allow the group members to create their own repositories, I've choosen the guest role just because it was the one with less permissions on repositories of others. I'd loved to create a specific role for it but GitLab does not support custom roles :(
