Automate GitLab access provisioning from Rippling so engineering teams get repository and CI/CD access on day one and lose it immediately at offboarding.
The Rippling–GitLab integration automates user lifecycle management in GitLab based on Rippling employment data. Engineers are provisioned into GitLab groups and projects with the correct access levels on hire, and deprovisioned automatically at termination — protecting source code, pipelines, and deployment configurations from former employees.
GitLab's unified DevSecOps platform handles source code, CI/CD, security scanning, and project management in a single application. For teams running GitLab as their primary development environment, connecting it to Rippling ensures the entire DevOps platform is governed by the same access lifecycle as the rest of IT.
Engineering teams using GitLab often rely on a developer admin to manually manage group membership, creating orphaned GitLab accounts after terminations. Automated deprovisioning from Rippling ensures former engineers lose all GitLab access immediately, including access to deployment pipelines and production environment configurations.
thePeopleStack configures SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning between Rippling and GitLab, including group and project access mapping based on Rippling's engineering team structure. We validate that offboarding removes all GitLab group memberships before go-live.
GitLab integrations for thePeopleStack's Rippling clients are structured around US engineering team provisioning workflows.
Canadian and cross-border operations: for Canadian engineers, GitLab provisioning follows the same Rippling-driven lifecycle. GitLab's self-managed deployment option is available for teams with Canadian data residency requirements.
Yes. GitLab.com and GitLab Dedicated support SCIM provisioning that connects to Rippling for automated group membership management. GitLab self-managed supports SAML SSO with group sync.
SCIM provisioning for group-level lifecycle management requires GitLab Premium or Ultimate. GitLab Free supports SAML SSO but not SCIM.
Yes. Rippling's department and role fields can map to GitLab group access levels (Guest, Reporter, Developer, Maintainer, Owner), ensuring engineers receive appropriate repository and pipeline permissions based on their role.
When a termination is processed in Rippling, the engineer is removed from all GitLab groups and loses access to repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment configurations immediately.
Configuration takes 2–3 hours including SAML SSO setup, SCIM provisioning, group mapping, and offboarding trigger testing.
