# Project snippets

### Snippet visibility level

Snippets in GitLab can be either private, internal or public.
You can set it with the `visibility_level` field in the snippet.

Constants for snippet visibility levels are:

| Visibility | visibility_level | Description |
| ---------- | ---------------- | ----------- |
| Private    | `0`  | The snippet is visible only the snippet creator |
| Internal   | `10` | The snippet is visible for any logged in user |
| Public     | `20` | The snippet can be accessed without any authentication |
