What it does

What PurpletGo does in GitLab

Remove a departing employee from your GitLab group, and on self-managed GitLab lock the account instance-wide. This integration is in beta.

Removes the matching user from the configured GitLab group.
With an administrator token, deactivates the user, or blocks them if GitLab refuses deactivation.
Runs when an admin or HR user revokes access for the offboarding, alongside the other systems selected for that person, and the result is recorded as revoked, failed, or needs manual action, with the reason.

What you need

A personal access token with the api scope from a group Owner, or an administrator token for instance-wide lockout.
The ID of the group to manage, and your instance URL if self-hosted.

Setup

Set up GitLab in PurpletGo

1
Open Integrations, go to Access Revocation Apps, and click Connect.
2
Choose GitLab, enter the access token, group ID, and optional instance URL, and confirm your password.

Good to know

Only direct members of the one configured group are removed.
Without an administrator token, users are matched by public email or enterprise email only.
Confirm the removal in GitLab after revoking while this integration is in beta.

Why this matters

Source code and CI configuration in GitLab are among the most sensitive things a departing engineer can still reach if group access is left in place.
