-# How to create a group in GitLab
-Your projects in GitLab can be organized in 2 different ways:
-under your own namespace for single projects, such as `your-name/project-1` or
-under groups.
-
-If you organize your projects under a group, it works like a folder. You can
-manage your group members' permissions and access to the projects.
-

-
-To create a group:
-
-1. Expand the left sidebar by clicking the three bars at the upper left corner
- and then navigate to **Groups**.

-1. Once in your groups dashboard, click on **New group**.
-
- ![Create new group information](img/create_new_group_info.png)
-
-1. Fill out the needed information:
-
- 1. Set the "Group path" which will be the namespace under which your projects
- will be hosted (path can contain only letters, digits, underscores, dashes
- and dots; it cannot start with dashes or end in dot).
- 1. The "Group name" will populate with the path. Optionally, you can change
- it. This is the name that will display in the group views.
- 1. Optionally, you can add a description so that others can briefly understand
- what this group is about.
- 1. Optionally, choose and avatar for your project.
- 1. Choose the [visibility level](../public_access/public_access.md).
-
-1. Finally, click the **Create group** button.

- be deprecated in GitLab 9.1. Read more in the [old behavior](#old-behavior)

-
-GitLab provides a health check endpoint for uptime monitoring on the `health_check` web
-endpoint. The health check reports on the overall system status based on the status of
-the database connection, the state of the database migrations, and the ability to write
-and access the cache. This endpoint can be provided to uptime monitoring services like
-[Pingdom][pingdom], [Nagios][nagios-health], and [NewRelic][newrelic-health].
-
-Once you have the [access token](#access-token) or your client IP is [whitelisted](#ip-whitelist),
-health information can be retrieved as plain text, JSON, or XML using the `health_check` endpoint:
-
-- `https://gitlab.example.com/health_check?token=ACCESS_TOKEN`
-- `https://gitlab.example.com/health_check.json?token=ACCESS_TOKEN`
-- `https://gitlab.example.com/health_check.xml?token=ACCESS_TOKEN`

+# Groups
+
+With GitLab Groups you can assemble related projects together
+and grant members access to several projects at once.
+
+Groups can also be nested in [subgroups](subgroups/index.md).
+
+Find your groups by expanding the left menu and clicking **Groups**:
+
+![GitLab Groups](img/groups.png)
+
+The Groups page displays all groups you are a member of, how many projects it holds,
+how many members it has, the group visibility, and, if you have enough permissions,
+a link to the group settings. By clicking the last button you can leave that group.
+
+## Use cases
+
+You can create groups for numerous reasons. To name a few:
+
+- Organize related projects under the same [namespace](#namespaces), add members to that
+group and grant access to all their projects at once
+- Create a group, include members of your team, and make it easier to
+`@mention` all the team at once in issues and merge requests
+ - Create a group for your company members, and create [subgroups](subgroups/index.md)
+ for each individual team. Let's say you create a group called `company-team`, and among others,
+ you created subgroups in this group for each individual team `backend-team`,
+ `frontend-team`, and `production-team`:
+ 1. When you start a new implementation from an issue, you add a comment:
+ _"`@company-team`, let's do it! `@company-team/backend-team` you're good to go!"_
+ 1. When your backend team needs help from frontend, they add a comment:
+ _"`@company-team/frontend-team` could you help us here please?"_
+ 1. When the frontend team completes their implementation, they comment:
+ _"`@company-team/backend-team`, it's done! Let's ship it `@company-team/production-team`!"_
+
+## Namespaces
+
+In GitLab, a namespace is a unique name to be used as a user name, a group name, or a subgroup name.
+
+- `http://gitlab.example.com/username`
+- `http://gitlab.example.com/groupname`
+- `http://gitlab.example.com/groupname/subgroup_name`
+
+For example, consider a user called John:
+
+1. John creates his account on GitLab.com with the username `jonh`;
+his profile will be accessed under `https://gitlab.example.com/john`
+1. John creates a group for his team with the groupname `john-team`;
+his group and its projects will be accessed under `https://gitlab.example.com/john-team`
+1. John creates a subgroup of `john-team` with the subgroup name `marketing`;
+his subgroup and its projects will be accessed under `https://gitlab.example.com/john-team/marketing`
+
+By doing so:
+
+- Any team member mentions John with `@john`
+- John mentions everyone from his team with `@john-team`
+- John mentions only his marketing team with `@john-team/marketing`
+
+## Create a new group
+
+You can create a group in GitLab from:
+
+1. The Groups page: expand the left menu, click **Groups**, and click the green button **New group**:
+
+ ![new group from groups page](img/new_group_from_groups.png)
+
+1. Elsewhere: expand the `plus` sign button on the top navbar and choose **New group**:
+
+ ![new group from elsewhere](img/new_group_from_other_pages.png)
+
+Add the following information:
+
+![new group info](img/create_new_group_info.png)
+
+1. Set the **Group path** which will be the **namespace** under which your projects
+ will be hosted (path can contain only letters, digits, underscores, dashes
+ and dots; it cannot start with dashes or end in dot).
+1. The **Group name** will populate with the path. Optionally, you can change
+ it. This is the name that will display in the group views.
+1. Optionally, you can add a description so that others can briefly understand
+ what this group is about.
+1. Optionally, choose an avatar for your project.
+1. Choose the [visibility level](../../public_access/public_access.md).
+
+## Add users to a group
+
+Add members to a group by navigating to the group's dashboard, and clicking **Members**:
+
+![add members to group](img/add_new_members.png)
+
+Select the [permission level][permissions] and add the new member. You can also set the expiring
+date for that user, from which they will no longer have access to your group.
+
+One of the benefits of putting multiple projects in one group is that you can
+give a user to access to all projects in the group with one action.
+
+Consider we have a group with two projects:
+
+- On the **Group Members** page we can now add a new user to the group.
+- Now because this user is a **Developer** member of the group, he automatically
+gets **Developer** access to **all projects** within that group.
+
+If necessary, you can increase the access level of an individual user for a specific project,
+by adding them again as a new member to the project with the new permission levels.
+
+## Request access to a group
+
+As a group owner you can enable or disable non members to request access to
+your group. Go to the group settings and click on **Allow users to request access**.
+
+As a user, you can request to be a member of a group. Go to the group you'd
+like to be a member of, and click the **Request Access** button on the right
+side of your screen.
+
+![Request access button](img/request_access_button.png)
+
+---
+
+Group owners and masters will be notified of your request and will be able to approve or
+decline it on the members page.
+
+![Manage access requests](img/access_requests_management.png)
+
+---
+
+If you change your mind before your request is approved, just click the
+**Withdraw Access Request** button.
+
+![Withdraw access request button](img/withdraw_access_request_button.png)
+
+## Add projects to a group
+
+There are two different ways to add a new project to a group:
+
+- Select a group and then click on the **New project** button.
+
+ ![New project](img/create_new_project_from_group.png)
+
+ You can then continue on [creating a project](../../gitlab-basics/create-project.md).
+
+- While you are creating a project, select a group namespace
+ you've already created from the dropdown menu.
+
+ ![Select group](img/select_group_dropdown.png)
+
+## Transfer an existing project into a group
+
+You can transfer an existing project into a group as long as you have at least **Master** [permissions][permissions] to that group
+and if you are an **Owner** of the project.
+
+![Transfer a project to a new namespace](img/transfer_project_to_other_group.png)
+
+Find this option under your project's settings.
+
+GitLab administrators can use the admin interface to move any project to any namespace if needed.
+
+## Manage group memberships via LDAP
+
+In GitLab Enterprise Edition it is possible to manage GitLab group memberships using LDAP groups.
+See [the GitLab Enterprise Edition documentation](../../integration/ldap.md) for more information.
+
+## Group settings
+
+Once you have created a group, you can manage its settings by navigating to
+the group's dashboard, and clicking **Settings**.
+
+![group settings](img/group_settings.png)
+
+### General settings
+
+Besides giving you the option to edit any settings you've previously
+set when [creating the group](#create-a-new-group), you can also
+access further configurations for your group.
+
+#### Enforce 2FA to group members
+
+Add a secury layer to your group by
+[enforcing two-factor authentication (2FA)](../../security/two_factor_authentication.md#enforcing-2fa-for-all-users-in-a-group)
+to all group members.
+
+#### Member Lock (EES/EEP)
+
+Available in [GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ee/),
+with **Member Lock** it is possible to lock membership in project to the
+level of members in group.
+
+Learn more about [Member Lock](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/index.html#member-lock-ees-eep).
+
+#### Share with group lock (EES/EEP)
+
+In [GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ee/)
+it is possible to prevent projects in a group from [sharing
+a project with another group](../../workflow/share_projects_with_other_groups.md).
+This allows for tighter control over project access.
+
+Learn more about [Share with group lock](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/index.html#share-with-group-lock-ees-eep).
+
+### Advanced settings
+
+- **Projects**: view all projects within that group, add members to each project,
+access each project's settings, and remove any project from the same screen.
+- **Webhooks**: configure [webhooks](../project/integrations/webhooks.md)
+and [push rules](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/push_rules/push_rules.html#push-rules) to your group (Push Rules is available in [GitLab Enteprise Edition Starter][ee].)
+- **Audit Events**: view [Audit Events](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/audit_events.html#audit-events)
+for the group (GitLab admins only, available in [GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter][ee]).
+- **Pipelines quota**: keep track of the [pipeline quota](../admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md) for the group

+## Overview
+
+A Merge Request (**MR**) is the basis of GitLab as a code collaboration
+and version control platform.
+Is it simple as the name implies: a _request_ to _merge_ one branch into another.
+
+With GitLab merge requests, you can:
+
+- Compare the changes between two [branches](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Branches-in-a-Nutshell#_git_branching)
+- [Review and discuss](../../discussions/index.md#discussions) the proposed modifications inline
+- Live preview the changes when [Review Apps](../../../ci/review_apps/index.md) is configured for your project
+- Build, test, and deploy your code in a per-branch basis with built-in [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/README.md)
+- Prevent the merge request from being merged before it's ready with [WIP MRs](#work-in-progress-merge-requests)
+- View the deployment process through [Pipeline Graphs](../../../ci/pipelines.md#pipeline-graphs)
+- [Automatically close the issue(s)](../../project/issues/closing_issues.md#via-merge-request) that originated the implementation proposed in the merge request
+- Assign it to any registered user, and change the assignee how many times you need
+- Assign a [milestone](../../project/milestones/index.md) and track the development of a broader implementation
+- Organize your issues and merge requests consistently throughout the project with [labels](../../project/labels.md)
+- Add a time estimation and the time spent with that merge request with [Time Tracking](../../../workflow/time_tracking.html#time-tracking)

-# GitLab Groups
-GitLab groups allow you to group projects into directories and give users access to several projects at once.
-
-When you create a new project in GitLab, the default namespace for the project is the personal namespace associated with your GitLab user.
-In this document we will see how to create groups, put projects in groups and manage who can access the projects in a group.
-
-## Creating groups
-
-You can create a group by going to the 'Groups' tab of the GitLab dashboard and clicking the 'New group' button.
-
-![Click the 'New group' button in the 'Groups' tab](groups/new_group_button.png)
-
-Next, enter the path and name (required) and the optional description and group avatar.
-
-![Fill in the path for your new group](groups/new_group_form.png)
-
-When your group has been created you are presented with the group dashboard feed, which will be empty.
-
-![Group dashboard](groups/group_dashboard.png)
-
-You can use the 'New project' button to add a project to the new group.
-
-## Transferring an existing project into a group
-
-You can transfer an existing project into a group you have at least Master access in from the project settings page.
-The option to transfer a project is only available if you are the Owner of the project.
-First scroll down to the 'Dangerous settings' and click 'Show them to me'.
-Now you can pick any of the groups you have at least Master access in as the new namespace for the group.
-
-![Transfer a project to a new namespace](groups/transfer_project.png)
-
-GitLab administrators can use the admin interface to move any project to any namespace if needed.
-
-## Adding users to a group
-
-One of the benefits of putting multiple projects in one group is that you can give a user to access to all projects in the group with one action.
-
-Suppose we have a group with two projects.
-
-![Group with two projects](groups/group_with_two_projects.png)
-
-On the 'Group Members' page we can now add a new user Barry to the group.
-
-![Add user Barry to the group](groups/add_member_to_group.png)
-
-Now because Barry is a 'Developer' member of the 'Open Source' group, he automatically gets 'Developer' access to all projects in the 'Open Source' group.
-
-![Barry has 'Developer' access to GitLab CI](groups/project_members_via_group.png)
-
-If necessary, you can increase the access level of an individual user for a specific project, by adding them as a Member to the project.
-
-![Barry effectively has 'Master' access to GitLab CI now](groups/override_access_level.png)
-
-## Requesting access to a group
-
-As a group owner you can enable or disable non members to request access to
-your group. Go to the group settings and click on **Allow users to request access**.
-
-As a user, you can request to be a member of a group. Go to the group you'd
-like to be a member of, and click the **Request Access** button on the right
-side of your screen.
-
-![Request access button](groups/request_access_button.png)
-
----
-
-Group owners & masters will be notified of your request and will be able to approve or
-decline it on the members page.
-
-![Manage access requests](groups/access_requests_management.png)
-
----
-
-If you change your mind before your request is approved, just click the
-**Withdraw Access Request** button.
-
-![Withdraw access request button](groups/withdraw_access_request_button.png)
-
-## Managing group memberships via LDAP
-
-In GitLab Enterprise Edition it is possible to manage GitLab group memberships using LDAP groups.
-See [the GitLab Enterprise Edition documentation](http://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/ldap.html) for more information.
-
-## Allowing only admins to create groups
-
-By default, any GitLab user can create new groups.
-This ability can be disabled for individual users from the admin panel.
-It is also possible to configure GitLab so that new users default to not being able to create groups:
-
-```
-# For omnibus-gitlab, put the following in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
-gitlab_rails['gitlab_default_can_create_group'] = false
-
-# For installations from source, uncomment the 'default_can_create_group'
-# line in /home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml
-```
