+# Contribution Analytics **[STARTER]**
+
+>**Note:**
+Introduced in [GitLab Starter][ee] 8.3.
+
+Track your team members' activity across your organization.
+
+## Overview
+
+With Contribution Analytics you can get an overview of the activity of
+issues, merge requests, and push events of your organization and its members.
+
+The analytics page is located at **Group > Contribution Analytics**
+under the URL `/groups/<groupname>/analytics`.
+
+## Use cases
+
+- Analyze your team's contributions over a period of time and offer a bonus for the top contributors
+- Identify opportunities for improveent with group members who may benefit from additional support
+
+## Using Contribution Analytics
+
+There are three main bar graphs that are deducted from the number of
+contributions per group member. These contributions include push events, merge
+requests and closed issues. Hovering on each bar you can see the number of
+events for a specific member.
+
+![Contribution analytics bar graphs](img/group_stats_graph.png)
+
+## Changing the period time
+
+There are three periods you can choose from, 'Last week', 'Last month' and
+'Last three months'. The default is 'Last week'.
+
+You can choose which period to display by using the dropdown calendar menu in
+the upper right corner.
+
+![Contribution analytics choose period](img/group_stats_cal.png)
+
+## Sorting by different factors
+
+Apart from the bar graphs you can also see the contributions per group member
+which are depicted in a table that can be sorted by:
+
+* Member name
+* Number of pushed events
+* Number of opened issues
+* Number of closed issues
+* Number of opened MRs
+* Number of accepted MRs
+* Number of total contributions

+# Epics **[ULTIMATE]**
+
+> Introduced in [GitLab Ultimate][ee] 10.2.
+
+Epics let you manage your portfolio of projects more efficiently and with less
+effort by tracking groups of issues that share a theme, across projects and
+milestones.
+
+![epics list view](img/epics_list_view.png)
+
+## Creating an epic
+
+A paginated list of epics is available in each group from where you can create
+a new epic. The list of epics includes also epics from all subgroups of the
+selected group. From your group page:
+
+1. Go to **Epics**
+1. Click the **New epic** button at the top right
+1. Enter a descriptive title and hit **Create epic**
+
+Once created, you will be taken to the view for that newly-created epic where
+you can change its title, description, start date, and due date.
+
+![epic view](img/epic_view.png)
+
+## Adding an issue to an epic
+
+An epic contains a list of issues and an issue can be associated with at most
+one epic. When on an epic, you can add its associated issues:
+
+1. Click the plus icon (<kbd>+</kbd>) under the epic description.
+1. Paste the link of the issue (you can hit <kbd>Spacebar</kbd> to add more than
+ one issues at a time).
+1. Click **Add**.
+
+Any issue belonging to a project in the epic's group or any of the epic's
+subgroups are eligible to be added. To remove an issue from an epic, click
+on the <kbd>x</kbd> button in the epic's issue list.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+When you add an issue or an epic to an epic that's already associated with another epic,
+the issue or the epic is automatically removed from the previous epic.
+
+## Multi-level child epics
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/8333) in GitLab Ultimate 11.7.
+
+Much like adding issues to an epic, an epic can have multiple child epics with
+the maximum depth being 5. To add a child epic:
+
+1. Click the plus icon (<kbd>+</kbd>) under the epic description.
+1. Paste the link of the epic.
+1. Click **Add**.
+
+Any epic that belongs to a group or subgroup of the parent epic's group is
+eligible to be added. To remove a child epic from a parent epic,
+click on the <kbd>x</kbd> button in the parent epic's epic list.
+
+## Start date and due date
+
+For each of the dates in the sidebar of an epic, you can choose to either:
+
+- Enter a fixed value.
+- Inherit a dynamic value called "From milestones".
+
+If you select "From milestones" for the start date, GitLab will automatically set the
+date to be earliest start date across all milestones that are currently assigned
+to the issues that are attached to the epic. Similarly, if you select "From milestones"
+for the due date, GitLab will set it to be the latest due date across all
+milestones that are currently assigned to those issues.
+
+These are dynamic dates in that if milestones are re-assigned to the issues, if the
+milestone dates change, or if issues are added or removed from the epic, then
+the re-calculation will happen immediately to set a new dynamic date.
+
+## Reordering issues and child epics
+
+Drag and drop to reorder issues and child epics. New issues and child epics added to an epic appear at the top of the list.
+
+## Deleting an epic
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+To delete an epic, you need to be an [Owner][permissions] of a group/subgroup.
+
+When inside a single epic view, click the **Delete** button to delete the epic.
+A modal will pop-up to confirm your action.
+
+Deleting an epic releases all existing issues from their associated epic in the
+system.
+
+## Closing and reopening epics
+
+### Using buttons
+
+Whenever you decide that there is no longer need for that epic,
+close the epic using the close button:
+
+![close epic - button](img/button_close_epic.png)
+
+You can always reopen it using the reopen button.
+
+![reopen epic - button](img/button_reopen_epic.png)
+
+### Using quick actions
+
+You can close or reopen an epic using [Quick actions](../../project/quick_actions.md)
+
+## Navigating to an epic from an issue
+
+If an issue belongs to an epic, you can navigate to the containing epic with the
+link in the issue sidebar.
+
+![containing epic](img/containing_epic.png)
+
+## Promoting an issue to an epic
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3777) in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.6.
+
+If you have [permissions](../../permissions.md) to close an issue and create an
+epic in the parent group, you can promote an issue to an epic with the `/promote`
+[quick action](../../project/quick_actions.md#quick-actions-for-epics-ultimate).
+Only issues from projects that are in groups can be promoted.
+
+When the quick action is executed:
+
+- An epic is created in the same group as the project of the issue.
+- Subscribers of the issue are notified that the epic was created.
+
+The following issue metadata will be copied to the epic:
+
+- Title, description, activity/comment thread.
+- Upvotes/downvotes.
+- Participants.
+- Group labels that the issue already has.
+
+## Searching for an epic from epics list page
+
+> Introduced in [GitLab Ultimate][ee] 10.5.
+
+You can search for an epic from the list of epics using filtered search bar (similar to
+that of Issues and Merge requests) based on following parameters:
+
+- Title or description
+- Author name / username
+- Labels
+
+![epics search](img/epics_search.png)
+
+To search, go to the list of epics and click on the field **Search or filter results...**.
+It will display a dropdown menu, from which you can add an author. You can also enter plain
+text to search by epic title or description. When done, press <kbd>Enter</kbd> on your
+keyboard to filter the list.
+
+You can also sort epics list by:
+
+- **Created date**
+- **Last updated**
+- **Start date**
+- **Due date**
+
+Each option contains a button that can toggle the order between **ascending** and **descending**. The sort option and order will be persisted to be used wherever epics are browsed including the [roadmap](../roadmap/index.md).
+
+![epics sort](img/epics_sort.png)
+
+## Permissions
+
+If you have access to view an epic and have access to view an issue already
+added to that epic, then you can view the issue in the epic issue list.
+
+If you have access to edit an epic and have access to edit an issue, then you
+can add the issue to or remove it from the epic.
+
+Note that for a given group, the visibility of all projects must be the same as
+the group, or less restrictive. That means if you have access to a group's epic,
+then you already have access to its projects' issues.
+
+You may also consult the [group permissions table][permissions].
+
+[ee]: https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/
+[permissions]: ../../permissions.md#group-members-permissions
+
+## Thread
+
+- Comments: collaborate on that epic by posting comments in its thread.
+These text fields also fully support
+[GitLab Flavored Markdown](../../markdown.md#gitlab-flavored-markdown-gfm).
+
+## Comment, or start a discussion
+
+Once you wrote your comment, you can either:
+
+- Click "Comment" and your comment will be published.
+- Click "Start discussion": start a thread within that epic's thread to discuss specific points.
+
+## Award emoji
+
+- You can [award an emoji](../../award_emojis.md) to that epic or its comments.

+1. Navigate to the group's **Settings > General** page.
+1. Expand the **Permissions, LFS, 2FA** section and select **Member lock**.
+1. Click the **Save changes** button.
+
+![Checkbox for membership lock](img/member_lock.png)
+
+This will disable the option for all users who previously had permissions to
+operate project memberships so no new users can be added. Furthermore, any
+request to add a new user to a project through API will not be possible.
+
+#### Group file templates **[PREMIUM]**
+
+Group file templates allow you to share a set of templates for common file
+types with every project in a group. It is analogous to the
+[instance template repository](../admin_area/settings/instance_template_repository.md)
+feature, and the selected project should follow the same naming conventions as
+are documented on that page.
+
+Only projects that are in the group may be chosen as the source of templates.
+This includes projects shared with the group, but **excludes** projects in
+subgroups or parent groups of the group being configured.
+
+This feature may be configured for subgroups as well as parent groups. A project
+in a subgroup will have access to the templates for that subgroup, as well as
+any parent groups.
+
+![Group file template dropdown](img/group_file_template_dropdown.png)
+
+To enable this feature, navigate to the group settings page, expand the
+**Templates** section, choose a project to act as the template repository, and
+**Save group**.

+# Roadmap **[ULTIMATE]**
+
+> Introduced in [GitLab Ultimate][ee] 10.5.
+
+An Epic within a group containing **Start date** and/or **Due date**
+can be visualized in a form of a timeline (e.g. a Gantt chart). The Epics Roadmap page
+shows such a visualization for all the epics which are under a group and/or its subgroups.
+
+![roadmap view](img/roadmap_view.png)
+
+A dropdown allows you to show only open or closed epics. By default, all epics are shown.
+
+![epics state dropdown](img/epics_state_dropdown.png)
+
+Epics in the view can be sorted by:
+
+- **Created date**
+- **Last updated**
+- **Start date**
+- **Due date**
+
+Each option contains a button that can toggle the order between **ascending** and **descending**. The sort option and order will be persisted to be used wherever epics are browsed including the [epics list view](../epics/index.md).
+
+## Timeline duration
+
+Starting with [GitLab Ultimate][ee] 11.0, Roadmap supports three different date ranges; Quarters, Months (Default) and Weeks.
+
+### Quarters
+
+![roadmap date range in quarters](img/roadmap_timeline_quarters.png)
+
+In _Quarters_ preset, roadmap shows epics which have start or due dates _falling within_ or
+_going through_ **past quarter**, **current quarter** and **next 4 quarters**, where _today_
+is shown by the vertical red line in the timeline. The sub-headers underneath the quarter name on
+the timeline header represent the month of the quarter.
+
+### Months
+
+![roadmap date range in months](img/roadmap_timeline_months.png)
+
+In _Months_ preset, roadmap shows epics which have start or due dates _falling within_ or
+_going through_ **past month**, **current month** and **next 5 months**, where _today_
+is shown by the vertical red line in the timeline. The sub-headers underneath the month name on
+the timeline header represent the date on starting day (Sunday) of the week. This preset is
+selected by default.
+
+### Weeks
+
+![roadmap date range in weeks](img/roadmap_timeline_weeks.png)
+
+In _Weeks_ preset, roadmap shows epics which have start or due dates _falling within_ or
+_going through_ **past week**, **current week** and **next 4 weeks**, where _today_
+is shown by the vertical red line in the timeline. The sub-headers underneath the week name on
+the timeline header represent the days of the week.
+
+## Timeline bar for an epic
+
+The timeline bar indicates the approximate position of an epic based on its start
+and due date. If an epic doesn't have a due date, the timeline bar fades
+away towards the future. Similarly, if an epic doesn't have a start date, the
+timeline bar becomes more visible as it approaches the epic's due date on the
+timeline.

+# SAML SSO for Groups **[PREMIUM]**
+
+> Introduced in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.0.
+
+This allows SAML to be used for adding users to a group on GitLab.com and other instances where using [site-wide SAML](../../../integration/saml.md) is not possible.
+
+When using a group SAML SSO link, users should already have an account on the GitLab instance with the email address that matches the user account from the provider.
+
+NOTE: **Note:** SAML SSO for groups is used only as a convenient way to add users and does not sync users between providers. Group owners will still need to manage user accounts, such as removing users when necessary.
+
+## How to configure
+
+1. Navigate to the group and click Settings -> SAML SSO.
+1. Configure your SAML server using the **Assertion consumer service URL** and **Issuer**. See [your identity provider's documentation](#providers) for more details.
+1. Configure required assertions using the table below.
+1. Find the SSO URL from your Identity Provider and enter it on GitLab.
+1. Find and enter the fingerprint for the SAML token signing certificate.
+
+## NameID
+
+GitLab.com uses the SAML NameID to identify users, so it must be present in the SAML response and unique to the user.
+
+The value should be something that will never change for that user, such as a unique ID or username. Email could also be used as the NameID, but only if it can be guaranteed to never change.
+
+## Assertions
+
+| Field | Supported keys | Notes |
+|-|----------------|-------------|
+| Email | `email`, `mail` | (required) |
+| Full Name | `name` | |
+| First Name | `first_name`, `firstname`, `firstName` | |
+| Last Name | `last_name`, `lastname`, `lastName` | |
+

+## Glossary
+
+| Term | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| Identity Provider | The service which manages your user identities such as ADFS, Okta, Onelogin or Ping Identity. |
+| Service Provider | SAML considers GitLab to be a service provider. |
+| Assertion | A piece of information about a user's identity, such as their name or role. Also know as claims or attributes. |
+| SSO | Single Sign On. |
+| Assertion consumer service URL | The callback on GitLab where users will be redirected after successfully authenticating with the identity provider. |
+| Issuer | How GitLab identifies itself to the identity provider. Also known as a "Relying party trust identifier". |
+| Certificate fingerprint | Used to confirm that communications over SAML are secure by checking that the server is signing communications with the correct certificate. Also known as a certificate thumbprint. |

+description: "The Group Security Dashboard gives an overview of the vulnerabilities of all the projects in a group and its subgroups."
+---
+
+# Group Security Dashboard **[ULTIMATE]**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/6709) in
+ [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing) 11.5.
+
+The Group Security Dashboard gives an overview of the vulnerabilities of all the
+projects in a group and its subgroups.
+
+## Overview
+
+To use the Group Security Dashboard, you need a group that has at least one
+project with [Static Application Security Testing](../../project/merge_requests/sast.md) or [Dependency Scanning](../../project/merge_requests/dependency_scanning.md)
+enabled.
+
+The Dashboard is a good place to get an overview of the security vulnerabilities in your projects.
+You can also drill down into a vulnerability and get extra information, see which
+project it comes from, the file it's in, and various metadata to help you analyze
+the risk. You can also action these vulnerabilities by creating an issue for them, or by dismissing them.
+
+Having your vulnerabilities in GitLab allows you to keep track of them and action them, all in the same application.
+
+## Use cases
+
+You want to measure how secure your projects are without having to look into
+each one separately.
+
+## Supported features
+
+The group security dashboard supports [SAST](../../project/merge_requests/sast.md), and [Dependency Scanning](../../project/merge_requests/dependency_scanning.md) reports.
+
+## Requirements
+
+To use the group security dashboard:
+
+1. At least one project inside a group must be configured with
+ [Static Application Security Testing](../../project/merge_requests/sast.md), or [Dependency Scanning](../../project/merge_requests/dependency_scanning.md).
+2. The configured jobs must use the [new `reports` syntax](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#artifactsreports) (see an [example job](../../../ci/examples/sast.md)).
+3. [GitLab Runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/) 11.5 or above must be used to execute the jobs.
+
+## Keeping the dashboard up to date
+
+Vulnerabilities are spotted during CI/CD pipelines, so having up-to-date results
+depends on how often security jobs are run.
+
+In order to have the latest results displayed in the dashboard, you can
+[schedule a daily pipeline](../../project/pipelines/schedules.md), so reports
+are created even if no code change happens.
+
+## Viewing the vulnerabilities
+
+First, navigate to the Security Dashboard found under your group's
+**Overview > Security Dashboard**.
+
+Once you're on the dashboard, at the top you should see a series of filters for:
+
+- Severity
+- Report type
+- Project
+
+Selecting one or more of these will filter
+the results in the sectons below. The first section is an overview of all the
+vulnerabilities, grouped by severity. Underneath these overviews is a timeline
+chart that shows how many open vulnerabilities you had at various points in time.
+You can hover over the chart to get more details about the open vulnerabilities
+at that time.
+
+![dashboard with action buttons and metrics](img/dashboard.png)
+
+Finally, there is a list of all the vulnerabilities in the group, sorted by severity.
+In that list, you can see the severity of the vulnerability, its name, its
+confidence (likelihood of the vulnerability to be a positive one), and the project
+it's from.
+
+If you hover over a row, there will appear some actions you can take:
+
+- "More info"
+- "Create issue"
+- "Dismiss vulnerability"
+
+### Getting more information for a vulnerability
+
+Clicking the "More info" button opens a modal with more information about the
+selected vulnerability where you can get a better description, as well as the
+file it came from, and a possible solution. You get access to the
+["Dismiss vulnerability"](#dismissing-a-vulnerability) and
+["Create issue"](#creating-an-issue-for-a-vulnerability) buttons inside this
+modal as well.
+
+![more info modal](img/modal.png)
+
+### Creating an issue for a vulnerability
+
+You can create an issue for a vulnerability by selecting the "Create issue"
+button from the action buttons to the right of a vulnerability row.
+This will create an issue on the project this vulnerability came from and pre-fill
+it with some useful information.
+
+Once the issue is created, you will be redirected to it so you can edit, assign,
+or comment on it. Upon returning to the dashboard you'll see that the vulnerability
+will now have an associated issue next to the name.
+
+![linked issue](img/issue.png)
+
+You can get the same result if you select the **Create issue** button from inside
+the "More info" modal.
+
+### Dismissing a vulnerability
+
+You can also dismiss vulnerabilities by clicking the "Dismiss vulnerability" button.
+This will dismiss the vulnerability and re-render it to reflect its dismissed state.
+If you wish to undo this dismissal, you can click the "Undo dismiss" button.
+
+You can get the same behaviour if you dismiss a vulnerability from within the
+"More info" modal.
