GitLab Auth - All Users Get Viewer Role (Locked, Can't Change)

Hi everyone,

I’ve enabled GitLab authentication in Grafana (using our self-hosted GitLab instance). Users are able to authenticate successfully, but every user is assigned the Viewer role by default — and the role is locked
Attached is an image showing the locked role setting.

Thanks in advance for any help!

It is not clear what is wrong, so I assume you have what you configured.

“role is locked” - Configure skip_org_role_sync properly so you will be able to change user role in the UI manually

“User is assigned the Viewer role” - Configure role_attribute_path (GitLab) properly

Doc is your friend:

I set skip_org_role_sync = true
but still the same issue i cant change the role in the UI

If your user is still a Viewer then you won’t be able to update the Users’s role (assuming that the skip_org_role_sync=true → so there isn’t any Synced via GitLab label next to the role).
