Group should disable Request Access

DOS6021

GitLab organization Severityhigh builtIn

Description

Top-level groups should not allow non-members to request access via the open Request Access button. Disabling request_access_enabled prevents external accounts from initiating join requests that an over-busy Owner might rubber-stamp. Use formal invitation flows instead.

Recommendation

1. Go to your top-level Group Settings > General.
