Additional GitLab credentials
This article explains how to prepare and add additional GitLab accounts to GitProtect in order to prevent throttling.
GitLab account preparation
The best way to add an additional account to your GitLab environment is by adding a new user to the dedicated group. This way, the added user automatically gains access to all projects within the group.
Alternatively, you can add a user to individual projects separately.
💡 For detailed information about organization membership, see the official GitLab documentation.
Adding GitLab credentials to GitProtect
Adding additional credentials in GitProtect does not automatically integrate them into backup tasks—you must enable new credentials for use in a backup plan.
Login to GitProtect Management Service, open the GitLab tab (DevOps > GitLab) and click Edit in the bottom-left corner of the selected GitLab repository tile.
Go to the Additional credentials section and click it.
Click the Add new button, enter the credentials, and then click Save to finish.
Enabling GitLab credentials for backup
In GitProtect Management Service, open the Plans tab and click Add plan, or select Edit plan if you already have one.
Scroll down to Advanced settings, click Edit, and enable the Additional git credentials switch.
The system will display all additional accounts available for the selected organization. Toggle the switch ON next to the accounts you want to use, and then click the Save button.
Back in the Edit backup plan panel, click the Save button to save your backup plan settings. The backup plan will now run using the selected additional GitLab accounts.
