View your group’s Insights

You can access your group’s Insights by clicking the Analytics > Insights link in the left sidebar.

Configure your Insights

Navigate to your group’s Settings > General, expand Insights, and choose the project that holds your .gitlab/insights.yml configuration file:

group insights configuration

If no configuration was set, a default configuration file will be used.

See the Project’s Insights documentation for more details about the .gitlab/insights.yml configuration file.

Permissions

If you have access to view a group, then you have access to view their Insights.

noteIssues or merge requests that you don’t have access to (because you don’t have access to the project they belong to, or because they are confidential) are filtered out of the Insights charts.

You may also consult the group permissions table.
