Do they count only users registered on the whole namespace/group or all users registered in each sub git project inside the namespace / group ?
Q. What does namespace in the context of user limits refer to?
A. In GitLab, a namespace is a unique name for a user, a group, or subgroup under which a project can be created. User limits are implemented at the top level group or personal namespace. For example: If a user has a group named top and two sub-groups under top named child1 and child2 with 4 users each, then the top namespace will have a total of 8 users, which is above the user limit of 5.
If I have Group A which has A/privateGit1.git with 4 users and A/privateGit2.git with 4 others different users then Group A has 8 users ?
Also it becomes more complex with guest users
We count the unique sum of users within a namespace which includes the users in the parent namespace (group), subgroups, and projects.
I created an MR to update the FAQ to make this more clear: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/merge_request...
Thanks for the feedback.
