level from the parent group. This model allows access to nested groups if you
have membership in one of its parents.
+NOTE: **Note:**
+GitLab [runners](../../../ci/runners/README.md) are unconditionally
+inherited by subgroups. Creating a runner in a parent group and then creating
+subgroup with additional maintainers gives those maintainers full access to the runner.

The group permissions for a member can be changed only by Owners, and only on
the **Members** page of the group the member was added.
