How can I convert an LDAP user to local user in GitLab?
Solution 1:
Bah, I should of held off asking for just a little longer! How to convert an LDAP user to a regular local user in Gitlab 8:
- Log in as an administrator
- From the admin console, click the Users tab
- Click on the user you want to change. Note that there's a UI quirk in GitLab. If you select Edit on the user, the setting is nowhere to be found, you have to click on their name to get the setting!
- Click on the Identities tab for the user
- Delete the LDAP identity
You can then give the user a new password, OR they can password reset from the login page.
