Custom admin roles are now GA

GitLab has introduced granular permissions for the Admin area in its Self-Managed and Dedicated instances, allowing organizations to implement custom admin roles that adhere to the principle of least privilege while maintaining operational efficiency. These custom admin roles provide fine-grained control over access to administrative functions, enabling organizations to create specific roles tailored to their needs, such as platform management, user support, and leadership oversight. This feature is part of GitLab's broader mission to enhance software supply chain security and is bolstered by support for LDAP integration, audit event tracking, and existing Admin modes. This update complements GitLab's earlier additions of custom roles for projects and groups, as well as granular permissions for CI/CD job tokens, with plans for additional permissions in future releases.
