    Elba removes eligible rejected accounts via the GitLab API and generates compliance evidence.

Before you connect

Coverage, permissions, and requirements.

Connects via the GitLab API to inventory user accounts and execute supported member removal. Elba does not clone repositories, inspect source code, or modify CI/CD pipelines.

Explore security & privacy
Does Elba clone GitLab repositories or scan source code?

No. The GitLab connector strictly inventories user accounts and memberships for identity reconciliation, User Access Reviews, and supported account removal.

Can Elba automatically remove revoked GitLab users after an Access Review?

Yes. GitLab is a verified remediation-enabled source in Elba, allowing administrators to deprovision eligible accounts directly from a completed User Access Review or offboarding workflow.

Which GitLab role is needed to connect Elba?

Authorize with a top-level Group Owner on GitLab.com (or an Administrator on supported setups) so Elba can list members and remove revoked seats.

Coverage and requirements
  • Deprovisioning removes or blocks eligible members within the authorized GitLab scope; Group Owners required to maintain minimum ownership must be reassigned in GitLab first.
  • This integration covers user/seat inventory, identity-gap detection, User Access Reviews, and supported account deprovisioning; it does not perform file DLP or OAuth scope revocation inside GitLab.
  • Account removal applies only to eligible non-owner accounts supported by the provider API or SCIM endpoint.
