all tiers

To harden your GitLab instance and minimize the risk of unwanted user account creation, consider access control features like Sign up restrictions and Authentication options. For more detailed information, refer to Hardening.

Self-managed GitLab customers and administrators are responsible for the security of their underlying hosts, and for keeping GitLab itself up to date. It is important to regularly patch GitLab, patch your operating system and its software, and harden your hosts in accordance with vendor guidance.
