GitLab CE 8.4 Integration

To integrate Cremit with Gitlab CE 8.4, you will need to create an account in GitLab for Cremit for Usenet scanning.

1. Create a GitLab Account

1. Log in to the GitLab 8.4 instance as an administrator.
2. Navigate to the 'Admin Area'.
   
3. Select 'New User'.
   
4. Enter the account information for Cremit (e.g., username: cremit-scanner, email: cremit-scanner@example.com).
   
5. Click the 'Create user' button.

2. Set Permissions

1. Add the Cremit account to the project or group you want to scan.
   
2. Set the permission level to Reporter to allow scanning of the project's code.
   
3. Click 'Add users to group(project)'.
   

Automatic Permission Setting Script

Use the following Python script to add the same permissions to all projects in bulk. This script grants Reporter permissions to a specific user for all internal and public projects.

Prerequisites

1. Python installation: Python must be installed on your system.
2. Install the requests module:

   $ pip install requests

Script Setup

1. Save the script below as invite_group_to_all_visible_repositories.py:

   NEXT_PAGE_PATTERN = re.compile("<([^<>]+)>; rel=\"next\"")
   def get_projects():
       projects = []
       response = get(f"{host}/api/v3/projects/all?order_by=id&sort=asc", headers=headers)
       projects.extend(response.json())
   
       if "Link" in response.headers:
           match_result = NEXT_PAGE_PATTERN.search(response.headers["Link"])
           if(match_result):
               next_page_url = match_result[1]
           else:
               next_page_url = None
       else: 
           next_page_url = None
   
       while next_page_url:
           response = get(next_page_url, headers=headers)
           if "Link" in response.headers:
               match_result = NEXT_PAGE_PATTERN.search(response.headers["Link"])
               if(match_result):
                   next_page_url = match_result[1]
               else:
                   next_page_url = None
           else: 
               next_page_url = None
           projects.extend(response.json())
   
       return projects
   
   payload = {
       "user_id": user_id,
       "access_level": 20
   }
   
   for project in get_projects():
       project_id = project["id"]
       project_name = project["name"]
       share_proejct_endpoint = host + f"/api/v3/projects/{project_id}/members"
   
       response = post(share_proejct_endpoint, json=payload, headers=headers)
       if response.status_code == 201:
           print(f"user {user_name} is joined to {project_name}")

Script Execution

Run the following command in the terminal:

$ python invite_group_to_all_visible_repositories.py {GitLab Host} {PRIVATE TOKEN}

<GitLab Host>: URL of the GitLab instance (e.g., https://gitlab.example.com)
