Group SSH certificates API

Introduced in GitLab 16.4 with a flag named ssh_certificates_rest_endpoints. Disabled by default.

On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available, an administrator can enable the feature flag named ssh_certificates_rest_endpoints. On GitLab.com, this feature is not available.

Use this API to create, read and delete SSH certificates for a group. Only top-level groups can store SSH certificates. To use this API you must authenticate yourself as an Administrator.
