# Group and project members API **(FREE)**

## Valid access levels

The access levels are defined in the `Gitlab::Access` module. Currently, these levels are recognized:

- No access (`0`)
- Minimal access (`5`) ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220203) in GitLab 13.5.)
- Guest (`10`)
- Reporter (`20`)
- Developer (`30`)
- Maintainer (`40`)
- Owner (`50`) - Only valid to set for groups

WARNING:
Due to [an issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219299),
projects in personal namespaces don't show owner (`50`) permission
for owner.

## Limitations

The `group_saml_identity` attribute is only visible to a group owner for [SSO enabled groups](../user/group/saml_sso/index.md).

The `email` attribute is only visible for users with public emails.

## List all members of a group or project

Gets a list of group or project members viewable by the authenticated user.
Returns only direct members and not inherited members through ancestors groups.

This function takes pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of users.

```plaintext
GET /groups/:id/members
GET /projects/:id/members
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id`      | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project or group](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
| `query`   | string | no     | A query string to search for members |
| `user_ids`   | array of integers | no     | Filter the results on the given user IDs |

```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/:id/members"
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/:id/members"
```

Example response:

    }
  }
]
```

## List all members of a group or project including inherited members

Gets a list of group or project members viewable by the authenticated user, including inherited members and permissions through ancestor groups.

If a user is a member of this group or project and also of one or more ancestor groups,
only its membership with the highest `access_level` is returned.
([Improved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/56677) in GitLab 13.11.)
This represents the effective permission of the user.

This function takes pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of users.

```plaintext

GET /projects/:id/members/all
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |

| `query`   | string | no     | A query string to search for members |
| `user_ids`   | array of integers | no     | Filter the results on the given user IDs |

## List all billable members of a group

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/217384) in GitLab 13.5.

Gets a list of group members that count as billable. The list includes members in the subgroup or subproject.

This API endpoint works on top-level groups only. It does not work on subgroups.

NOTE:
Unlike other API endpoints, billable members is updated once per day at 12:00 UTC.

This function takes [pagination](index.md#pagination) parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of users.

[Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/262875) in GitLab 13.7, the `search` and
`sort` parameters allow you to search for billable group members by name and sort the results,
respectively.

```plaintext
GET /groups/:id/billable_members
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id`      | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the group](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
| `search`  | string         | no  | A query string to search for group members by name, username, or email. |
| `sort`    | string         | no  | A query string containing parameters that specify the sort attribute and order. See supported values below.|

The supported values for the `sort` attribute are:

| Value                   | Description                  |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| `access_level_asc`      | Access level, ascending      |
| `access_level_desc`     | Access level, descending     |
| `last_joined`           | Last joined                  |
| `name_asc`              | Name, ascending              |
| `name_desc`             | Name, descending             |

## List memberships for a billable member of a group

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/321560) in GitLab 13.11.

Gets a list of memberships for a billable member of a group.

Lists all projects and groups a user is a member of. Only projects and groups within the group hierarchy are included.
For instance, if the requested group is `Root Group`, and the requested user is a direct member of both `Root Group / Sub Group One` and `Other Group / Sub Group Two`, then only `Root Group / Sub Group One` will be returned, because `Other Group / Sub Group Two` is not within the `Root Group` hierarchy.

The response represents only direct memberships. Inherited memberships are not included.

This API endpoint works on top-level groups only. It does not work on subgroups.

This API endpoint requires permission to administer memberships for the group.

This API endpoint takes [pagination](index.md#pagination) parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of memberships.

```plaintext
GET /groups/:id/billable_members/:user_id/memberships
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id`      | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the group](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
| `user_id` | integer        | yes | The user ID of the billable member |

```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/:id/billable_members/:user_id/memberships"
```

## Remove a billable member from a group

still use this API to remove them.

```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id`      | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the group](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |

### Set override flag for a member of a group

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/4875) in GitLab 13.0.

by LDAP through Group Sync. You can allow access level overrides by calling this endpoint.

### Remove override for a member of a group

## Remove a member from a group or project

Removes a user from a group or project where the user has been explicitly assigned a role.

The user needs to be a group member to qualify for removal.
For example, if the user was added directly to a project within the group but not this
group explicitly, you cannot use this API to remove them. See
[Remove a billable member from a group](#remove-a-billable-member-from-a-group) for an alternative approach.

```plaintext
DELETE /groups/:id/members/:user_id
DELETE /projects/:id/members/:user_id
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id`      | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project or group](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
| `user_id` | integer | yes   | The user ID of the member |
| `skip_subresources` | boolean | false   | Whether the deletion of direct memberships of the removed member in subgroups and projects should be skipped. Default is `false`. |
| `unassign_issuables` | boolean | false   | Whether the removed member should be unassigned from any issues or merge requests inside a given group or project. Default is `false`. |

Example request:

```shell
curl --request DELETE --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/:id/members/:user_id"
curl --request DELETE --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/:id/members/:user_id"
