Identity Engineering Team

The Identity Engineering team leads the technical strategy and automation implementation of identity and access management (IAM), role-based access control (RBAC), and administrative access controls for internal GitLab systems, cloud infrastructure, and tech stack applications. The Security team focuses on customer and product trust, while the Business Technology and IT team focuses on compliance and financial trust.

Overview

The Security Identity Engineering team was formed on 2023-12-01 to lead the design and implementation of our next-generation of identity and access management framework and program at GitLab that we refer to as Identity v3. The founding members of the team joined Security from the IT Engineering and IT Infrastructure team as part of an organization realignment, however have been working on identity management projects for several years.

To get started with understanding the Identity function, see the Identity handbook page. Our flagship project is the Identity Platform, powered by Access Control (accessctl) and Access Check (accesschk).

The team is just getting started, so please see the Identity Engineering Issue Tracker to learn more about what we’re working on.
