I have a fresh installation of GitLab 15.7.2. When a new user is created, it sends a notification E-Mail via SMTP to that user, saying The Administrator created an account for you. Now you are a member of the company GitLab application.
How can I change the company name GitLab application ?
After a little research, I realized that we cannot change Gitlab's email notifications.
In addition, this sentence does not mean the name of your company, it just says that you have been added to your company's Gatilab

The team I'm on at work is working at developing competence at branching strategies using Git. We've previously used TFVC but want to move to Git. At this point it's our intention to use Azure DevOps Services for both source control and the build/release using Azure Pipelines.
I've been reading up on branching strategies using Git. I came across the Adopt a Git Branching Strategy page and other related pages. Incredibly valuable information there! However, I do have one important question which is a consequence of our environment. All our licenses to things like Microsoft 365, Visual Studio, MSDN licensing, etc., is tied to an email address ending in nmhealth.org. However, for reasons which I'm not privy to, that's not actually our work email addresses. My work email address is on domain state.nm.us. In essence, although all our licensing is through nmhealth.org, there is no email inbox there. All email has to go through everyone's state.nm.us email. But if we set up things like who's going to review PRs, how do we do that in Azure DevOps Pipelines? Everyone's account in Azure Pipelines is associated with their nmhealth.org. At this point when we make up policies in Azure Pipelines concerning PRs, such as reviewers, no one will ever get an email informing them that they should review a new PR.
People can set an alternate email address in their profile.
If your account is linked to AAD, that email should automatically flow from Azure Active Directory, if the contact email is configured there.
You can also edit your notification subscription settings and set an alternate email address for a specific notification class:
This is only possible for non-default subscriptions. So you may need to disable a global notification and create a personal notification subscription in order to set the custom email address.
You can recognize the global subscriptions by the 🌐 icon.
Click on user settings in the top right of ADO next to you picture.
Click on Profile
Set your preferred contact email.
If you want more granularity or want to send email to a DL when a PR is created and assigned to a specific group or user for review you can go to notifications and create a new subscription.
This is briefly described in the MS doc:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/notifications/about-notifications?view=azure-devops
I have the Project administrator role in Azure Devops for the project I manage. I can do everything in my project except for emailing queries. Is there a specific role that is needed to be able to email Queries?
Things I tried:
Changing my roles - Didn't work as project administrator is already an elevated access
Sending to different emails - No effect. No email goes to any email within my organization
As I know project admin is enough to send email. So I think the issue is that the emails are blocked by receivers. You can create a new Outlook email and add it to project member to test that.
To view, run, or email a query, you must be granted Stakeholder access or higher.
You can only send the email to individual address for a project member that is recognized by the system. Adding a team group or security group to the to line isn't supported. If you add an email account that the system doesn't recognize, you receive a message that one or more recipients of your email don't have permissions to read the mailed work items.

I want to setup a gitlab instance for internal use. Since the instance can only be reached over a local network I haven't setup the email setup. Unfortunately gitlab still wants to sent new users confirmation emails with a temporary password, but they never receive this email.
Is there a way to configure gitlab so that it doesn't send these confirmation mails? I already tried to set email_enabled: false in gitlab.yml but it didn't work.
Update:
It should work without me having to interfere manually in the signup process.
Admin can confirm user manually!
Login gitlab with admin account and create a new user (Mini), ignore password.
Admin area ---> users ---> edit Mini user ---> set password.
User Mini can login gitlab.
I think GitLab takes security seriously and from what I have seen so far, it looks like either your users need to confirm their accounts or an admin has to confirm manually.
I'm using gitlab 7.4.3
I want to create a user to sync a git repo with gitlab periodically. It's actually a git-svn checkout of a svn tree, so I plan to in cron run 'git svn fetch' and 'git push gitlab' every few minutes.
But I don't want this actively to show up as my activity. So I want to create a user, something like 'svnbot', and do the pushing as that user.
My problem is that I cannot create a user because I already have a user, and gitlab is requiring email addresses to be unique.
Ideally the user would have the same email as my account, so that any email it would receive goes to me. Also, having no email address at all would also be fine for my purposes. I don't want the email to leave the local domain, so I can't just put in a gmail account, and my email server doesn't support the "+" trick.
I have admin rights to the gitlab server, but not to the email servers, and I would prefer to not have to bother the email admins with this problem.
I'm guessing you need to contact your email admins. You can almost certainly get by with having them create an alias for your email account, e.g. 'gitlab-svn-bot#example.com'.
I am working with workflows and trying to send e-mails.
On the workflow page I got an error message:
The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the e-mail has a valid recipient.
User is system account. So I think that I need to set e-mail address of system account.
Does any one know how to set e-mail address for system account ?
Does any one have a better idea to solve this problem?
There are two possibilities to add an email in system account.
If you are usin gactive directory user to login in sharepoint as system account then you have to mention his/her email address in the Active directory.
If you are using local user as a system account then follow this steps.
Click on drop down of System Account -> Click on My Settings -> Click on Edit Item and Update it with valid email address.
Let me know the result.
Thanks
try this
In your server move to the following location
Start --> Administrative Tools --> Active Directory Users and Computers
There you can find the list of users. You can also find the administrator there.
Now right click the administrator and choose properties and ad your email
