Automatically approve User in case of requesting access to a Group as Developer
Description
In case of using GitLab for companies user should be able to bring new ideas to live. (Create Issuse, Branch, Review....)
To create a branch based on issues user has to subscribe to groups and needs at least developer rights.
We could to something like:
- iterating over all projects and set developer right for everyone ... but the result would be, that the start-page of each user would be fluted by tones of projects
Proposal
A setting to join user automatically to group if developer access was requested. This could be set insight the group or global in the admin settings.
Overview
What is it?
Settings to join user automatically to group as developer if requested
Why should someone use this feature?
- because the user just see the projects on start-page he wants to see
- because the user has all rights to their work as developer ( create branch, work, ... )
What is the underlying (business) problem?
User inside a company should be able to work. Not to ask each time they want to join a group for rights. The user just want to fix a problem. ( Issue, Branch, ...)
How do you use this feature?
Saves a lot of time for administration in case of:
- adding people to group with rights
- discussions about the confusion, or complexity at the start-page
Use cases
Who is this for? Provide one or more use cases.
For each developer insight a company which is not owner of the given project.
Request access -> automatically granted as developer.
