Info regarding project members

  • Project members are not exported.

  • Project members must be invited again after the import.

  • In the ID Gitlab instance it is currently not possible to invite external users via email address. External users therefore need an ETH guest account. Please contact your IT responsible/IT contact in your institute/group.
