- v4 API:
- GitLab API: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/groups
List the groups:
groups = gl.groups.list(get_all=True)
Get a group's detail:
group = gl.groups.get(group_id)
List a group's projects:
projects = group.projects.list(get_all=True)
List a group's shared projects:
projects = group.shared_projects.list(get_all=True)
Note
GroupProject and SharedProject objects returned by these two API calls
are very limited, and do not provide all the features of Project objects.
If you need to manipulate projects, create a new Project object:
first_group_project = group.projects.list(get_all=False)[0] manageable_project = gl.projects.get(first_group_project.id, lazy=True)
You can filter and sort the result using the following parameters:
archived: limit by archived statusvisibility: limit by visibility. Allowed values arepublic,internalandprivatesearch: limit to groups matching the given valueorder_by: sort by criteria. Allowed values areid,name,path,created_at,updated_atandlast_activity_atsort: sort order:ascordescci_enabled_first: return CI enabled groups firstinclude_subgroups: include projects in subgroups
Create a group:
group = gl.groups.create({'name': 'group1', 'path': 'group1'})
Warning
On GitLab.com, creating top-level groups is currently not permitted using the API. You can only use the API to create subgroups.
Create a subgroup under an existing group:
subgroup = gl.groups.create({'name': 'subgroup1', 'path': 'subgroup1', 'parent_id': parent_group_id})
Update a group:
group.description = 'My awesome group' group.save()
Set the avatar image for a group:
# the avatar image can be passed as data (content of the file) or as a file
# object opened in binary mode
group.avatar = open('path/to/file.png', 'rb')
group.save()
Remove the avatar image for a group:
group.avatar = "" group.save()
Remove a group:
gl.groups.delete(group_id) # or group.delete()
Restore a Group marked for deletion (Premium only)::
group.restore()
Share/unshare the group with a group:
group.share(group2.id, gitlab.const.AccessLevel.DEVELOPER) group.unshare(group2.id)
You can export groups from gitlab, and re-import them to create new groups.

- :attr:`gitlab.v4.objects.Group.imports`
- :attr:`gitlab.v4.objects.GroupManager.import_group`
- GitLab API: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/group_import_export
A group export is an asynchronous operation. To retrieve the archive generated by GitLab you need to:
- Create an export using the API
- Wait for the export to be done
- Download the result
Warning
Unlike the Project Export API, GitLab does not provide an export_status for Group Exports. It is up to the user to ensure the export is finished.
However, Group Exports only contain metadata, so they are much faster than Project Exports.
# Create the export
group = gl.groups.get(my_group)
export = group.exports.create()
# Wait for the export to finish
time.sleep(3)
# Download the result
with open('/tmp/export.tgz', 'wb') as f:
export.download(streamed=True, action=f.write)
Import the group:
with open('/tmp/export.tgz', 'rb') as f:
gl.groups.import_group(f, path='imported-group', name="Imported Group")
- v4 API:
List the subgroups for a group:
subgroups = group.subgroups.list(get_all=True)
Note
The GroupSubgroup objects don't expose the same API as the Group
objects. If you need to manipulate a subgroup as a group, create a new
Group object:
real_group = gl.groups.get(subgroup_id, lazy=True) real_group.issues.list(get_all=True)
- v4 API:
List the descendant groups of a group:
descendant_groups = group.descendant_groups.list(get_all=True)
Note
Like the GroupSubgroup objects described above, GroupDescendantGroup
objects do not expose the same API as the Group objects. Create a new
Group object instead if needed, as shown in the subgroup example.
- v4 API:
- GitLab API: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/custom_attributes
List custom attributes for a group:
attrs = group.customattributes.list(get_all=True)
Get a custom attribute for a group:
attr = group.customattributes.get(attr_key)
Set (create or update) a custom attribute for a group:
attr = group.customattributes.set(attr_key, attr_value)
Delete a custom attribute for a group:
attr.delete() # or group.customattributes.delete(attr_key)
Search groups by custom attribute:
group.customattributes.set('role': 'admin')
gl.groups.list(custom_attributes={'role': 'admin'}, get_all=True)
The following constants define the supported access levels:
gitlab.const.AccessLevel.GUEST = 10gitlab.const.AccessLevel.REPORTER = 20gitlab.const.AccessLevel.DEVELOPER = 30gitlab.const.AccessLevel.MAINTAINER = 40gitlab.const.AccessLevel.OWNER = 50

- GitLab API: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/members
Billable group members are only available in GitLab EE.
List only direct group members:
members = group.members.list(get_all=True)
List the group members recursively (including inherited members through ancestor groups):
members = group.members_all.list(get_all=True)
Get only direct group member:
members = group.members.get(member_id)
Get a member of a group, including members inherited through ancestor groups:
members = group.members_all.get(member_id)
Add a member to the group:
member = group.members.create({'user_id': user_id,
'access_level': gitlab.const.AccessLevel.GUEST})
Update a member (change the access level):
member.access_level = gitlab.const.AccessLevel.DEVELOPER member.save()
Remove a member from the group:
group.members.delete(member_id) # or member.delete()
List billable members of a group (top-level groups only):
billable_members = group.billable_members.list(get_all=True)
Remove a billable member from the group:
group.billable_members.delete(member_id) # or billable_member.delete()
List memberships of a billable member:
billable_member.memberships.list(get_all=True)
Add an LDAP group link to an existing GitLab group:
ldap_link = group.ldap_group_links.create({
'provider': 'ldapmain',
'group_access': gitlab.const.AccessLevel.DEVELOPER,
'cn: 'ldap_group_cn'
})
List a group's LDAP group links:
group.ldap_group_links.list(get_all=True)
Remove a link:
ldap_link.delete() # or by explicitly providing the CN or filter group.ldap_group_links.delete(provider='ldapmain', cn='ldap_group_cn') group.ldap_group_links.delete(provider='ldapmain', filter='(cn=Common Name)')
Sync the LDAP groups:
group.ldap_sync()
You can use the ldapgroups manager to list available LDAP groups:
# listing (supports pagination) ldap_groups = gl.ldapgroups.list(get_all=True) # filter using a group name ldap_groups = gl.ldapgroups.list(search='foo', get_all=True) # list the groups for a specific LDAP provider ldap_groups = gl.ldapgroups.list(search='foo', provider='ldapmain', get_all=True)
Add a SAML group link to an existing GitLab group:
saml_link = group.saml_group_links.create({
"saml_group_name": "<your_saml_group_name>",
"access_level": <chosen_access_level>
})
List a group's SAML group links:
group.saml_group_links.list(get_all=True)
Get a SAML group link:
group.saml_group_links.get("<your_saml_group_name>")
Remove a link:
saml_link.delete()
- v4 API:
- GitLab API: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/groups#hooks
List the group hooks:
hooks = group.hooks.list(get_all=True)
Get a group hook:
hook = group.hooks.get(hook_id)
Create a group hook:
hook = group.hooks.create({'url': 'http://my/action/url', 'push_events': 1})
Update a group hook:
hook.push_events = 0 hook.save()
Test a group hook:
hook.test("push_events")
Delete a group hook:
group.hooks.delete(hook_id) # or hook.delete()
- v4 API:
- GitLab API: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/groups#push-rules

pr = group.pushrules.get()
Edit group push rules:
pr.branch_name_regex = '^(master|develop|support-\d+|release-\d+\..+|hotfix-.+|feature-.+)$' pr.save()
