+# Email from GitLab **[STARTER ONLY]**
+
+As a GitLab administrator you can email GitLab users from within GitLab.
+
+## Overview
+
+GitLab provides a simple tool to email all users or users of a chosen group or
+project right from the admin area. Users will receive the email to their primary
+email address.
+
+## Use-cases
+
+- Notify your users about a new project, a new feature, or a new product launch.
+- Notify your users about a new deployment, or that will be downtime expected
+ for a particular reason.
+
+## Sending emails to users from within GitLab
+
+1. Go to the admin area using the wrench icon in the top right corner and
+ navigate to **Overview > Users > Send email to users**.
+
+ ![admin users](email1.png)
+
+1. Compose an email and choose where it will be sent (all users or users of a
+ chosen group or project):
+
+ ![compose an email](email2.png)
+
+## Unsubscribing from emails
+
+User can choose to unsubscribe from receiving emails from GitLab by following
+the unsubscribe link from the email. Unsubscribing is unauthenticated in order
+to keep the simplicity of this feature.
+
+On unsubscribe, user will receive an email notifying that unsubscribe happened.
+The endpoint that provides the unsubscribe option is rate-limited.
