Part 1: Prepare a Custom User for LiveReview

Get an account in gitlab.com

1.2 Grant the User Access to Relevant Groups/Projects

Manually go to the appropriate projects/groups and add the new user as a member:

Assign at least Developer or Maintainer permissions:

You can then confirm their access in the Admin area:

1.3 Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT)

The next step is to generate a PAT for the new user so LiveReview can act on their behalf.

If you’re an admin, one option is to impersonate the new user:

If impersonation is not possible, simply log in as the new user with their email and password.

Navigate to:
User Profile Icon -> Preferences -> Access Tokens -> Add New Token

Assign the required permissions and create a new PAT:

Copy the PAT to a secure location for later use.

Part 2: Connect LiveReview with the New User’s PAT

Log in to LiveReview and go to:
Git Providers -> Gitlab.com

Fill in the details:

• Provide a friendly name.
• Enter the PAT.
• Submit.

LiveReview should fetch the user’s profile (avatar) and some basic details, like this:

Finally, click Confirm and Save to add the connector:
