Scope

Switchboard supports several roles that are specific to GitLab team members to enable them to support GitLab Dedicated customers. These are separate from the user roles we make available to GitLab Dedicated customers which are specific to each customer's GitLab Dedicated instance.

GitLab team member roles currently apply to all tenants connected to a given Switchboard environment (e.g. Production), so a GitLab team member cannot have different levels of permissions for different GitLab Dedicated tenants within the same environment.

How to request access as a GitLab team member

See Requesting Access to the Switchboard application on the Switchboard team page.
