GitLab

The Corma integration for GitLab connects directly to GitLab to automate user provisioning, so on- and offboarding follow your HR and identity data for every employee in every team. GitLab is a DevOps platform that offers tools for source code management, CI/CD and project management, enabling teams to collaborate and automate the software development lifecycle.

Why does GitLab access need governance?

GitLab accounts open the door to source code, CI/CD and project work. When accounts are created and removed by hand, access drifts: people keep permissions after a role change, and former employees can keep active accounts after they leave. Without a central view, IT cannot easily tell who has access to what, which makes access reviews and audits slow and incomplete.

How Corma automates GitLab access control

• The right access on day one: Corma provisions GitLab access from HR and identity data through automated provisioning, so each new employee gets the access their role requires.
• Automated offboarding: when an employee leaves, Corma de-provisions their GitLab access, which prevents orphaned accounts on your code platform.
• Access rights based on roles: Corma adjusts GitLab access rights through role-based access control, so everyone has the appropriate access when they need it.
• Onboarding workflows: with the IT Workflow Builder, an onboarding workflow can create the GitLab account, grant app access and notify the manager for each new hire, which takes repetitive onboarding tasks off IT's plate.
• One dashboard for access and licenses: Corma's unified dashboard shows who has access to GitLab and which licenses are active, expiring or underused, so IT can spot unused or redundant licenses. Every access change is logged for GDPR, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits.

Frequently asked questions

How does Corma connect to GitLab?

Corma connects directly to GitLab. Once GitLab and your identity provider are connected, Corma starts syncing access data and applies your provisioning and offboarding rules to GitLab accounts.

Does our team need specialist knowledge to implement this?

No. Corma's pre-built connectors and simple setup let IT teams implement the GitLab integration without specialized expertise.

How is employee data kept secure during the GitLab integration?

Corma encrypts all data in transit and at rest, requests minimal permissions and lets you revoke access at any time. Data is hosted on AWS in data centers inside the European Union, and Corma is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified.
