# Permissions
Users have different abilities depending on the access level they have in a particular group or project.
If a user is both in a project group and in the project itself, the highest permission level is used.
If a user is a GitLab administrator they receive all permissions.
On public and internal projects the Guest role is not enforced.
All users will be able to create issues, leave comments, and pull or download the project code.
To add or import a user, you can follow the [project users and members
documentation](../workflow/add-user/add-user.md).

## Group
In order for a group to appear as public and be browsable, it must contain at
least one public project.
Any user can remove themselves from a group, unless they are the last Owner of the group.

## External Users
In cases where it is desired that a user has access to some internal or private projects, but others
should remain hidden from this user, there is the option of creating `External Users`.
An administrator can flag a user as external through the API or by checking the checkbox on the admin panel.
In the case of a new user: navigate to the **Admin** area and click the **New User** button. If you would like to
edit a user, go to the user list on the **Admin** area and click the **Edit** button.
External users can only access projects to which they are explicitly granted access, thus hiding all internal projects.
Access can be granted by adding the users as member to the project or by including this user in a group. External users will, like usual users, receive
a role in the project or group with all the abilities that are mentioned in the table above.
External users cannot create groups or projects, and have the same access as logged out users in all other cases. This feature may be
useful when for example a contractor is working on a given project and should only access the given project and public
projects.
