# Project snippets

## Snippet visibility level

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

Constants for snippet visibility levels are:

| visibility | Description |
| ---------- | ----------- |
| `private`  | The snippet is visible only the snippet creator |
| `internal` | The snippet is visible for any logged in user |
| `public`   | The snippet can be accessed without any authentication |

NOTE: **Note:**
From July 2019, the `Internal` visibility setting is disabled for new projects, groups,
and snippets on GitLab.com. Existing projects, groups, and snippets using the `Internal`
visibility setting keep this setting. You can read more about the change in the
[relevant issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/12388).
