Note: gitlab's mapping to saml2 groups is pretty strict.

You can say 'members of source-git-sig' have permission X

But, this means that it will do exactly that. Anyone who is not in that group will have all their permissions removed, anyone in that group who has more permissions that X will have their permissions changed to X

There is no distinction between group members, all SAML2 gets is 'is a member of group X'

Due to this, we have been recommending people just handle their permissions in gitlab (ie, set some few people with high privs and grant others permissions as needed).

All that said, if you want to do it this way or try it, we can set it up...

@kevin, thank you for such a detailed description

We discussed and agree with you to use individual membership and access control instead.

I am updating my original post with a new request then.

ok, should we close this here then? Or do you still need further setup on it?

Yes please, we don't have any access to the newly created /fedora/src namespace:

https://gitlab.com/groups/fedora/src/-/group_members

So you could please add three of us, ideally as owners, in there.

I just checked and am not able to create any repositories in there.

Edit: now I can see that my role in the /fedora/src namespace is just developer.

ok. I have invited you 3 now... please accept and confirm things are good and close this ticket if so. ;)

Lovely, I can see all three of us being owners \o/

Thank you so much, Kevin!
