GitLab Dedicated Switchboard Troubleshooting

Overview

Switchboard is a portal customers use to manage their GitLab Dedicated instance. Select GitLab team members have access to Switchboard. Read more about what the goals of Switchboard are on the Category Direction page.

Accessing Switchboard

GitLab Support Engineers can access the Switchboard application via Okta.

1. Log in to Okta at https://gitlab.okta.com
2. Search for and click on the Switchboard (production) app
3. Click Sign in
4. Under Sign in with your corporate ID, select Okta

You should now be in Switchboard.

During onboarding, GitLab Dedicated customers get access to Switchboard. Temporary credentials are sent to these customers via email. If these credentials expire, customers may open a Support ticket. Support Engineers should raise an issue in the GitLab Dedicated issue tracker using the request_for_switchboard_help.md template.
