Adding a user
When your team grows, you want to add more users to your system. In this recipe, we take a look at how to invite people to your GitLab system.
How to do it…
At the end of the following points, you will have a new user in your GitLab system:
- Log in as an admin user.
- Go to the Admin area section.
