# Group and project members API
## Valid access levels
The access levels are defined in the `Gitlab::Access` module. Currently, these levels are recognized:
- No access (`0`)
- Minimal access (`5`) ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220203) in GitLab 13.5.)
- Guest (`10`)
- Reporter (`20`)
- Developer (`30`)
- Maintainer (`40`)
- Owner (`50`) - Only valid to set for groups
WARNING:
Due to [an issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219299),
projects in personal namespaces don't show owner (`50`) permission
for owner.
## Limitations
The `group_saml_identity` attribute is only visible to a group owner for [SSO enabled groups](../user/group/saml_sso/index.md).
The `email` attribute is only visible to a group owner who manages the user through [Group Managed Accounts](../user/group/saml_sso/group_managed_accounts.md).
## List all members of a group or project
Gets a list of group or project members viewable by the authenticated user.
Returns only direct members and not inherited members through ancestors groups.
This function takes pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of users.
```plaintext
GET /groups/:id/members
GET /projects/:id/members
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project or group](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
| `query` | string | no | A query string to search for members |
| `user_ids` | array of integers | no | Filter the results on the given user IDs |
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/:id/members"
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/:id/members"
```

```
## List all members of a group or project including inherited members
Gets a list of group or project members viewable by the authenticated user, including inherited members and permissions through ancestor groups.
If a user is a member of this group or project and also of one or more ancestor groups, only its membership with the highest `access_level` is returned.
This represents the effective permission of the user.
This function takes pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of users.

```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |

## List all billable members of a group
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/217384) in GitLab 13.5.
Gets a list of group members that count as billable. The list includes members in the subgroup or subproject.
This API endpoint works on top-level groups only. It does not work on subgroups.
NOTE:
Unlike other API endpoints, billable members is updated once per day at 12:00 UTC.
This function takes [pagination](README.md#pagination) parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of users.
[Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/262875) in GitLab 13.7, the `search` and
`sort` parameters allow you to search for billable group members by name and sort the results,
respectively.

## Remove a billable member from a group
