What is the Matillion GitLab App?

The Matillion GitLab app lets Data Productivity Cloud users connect their GitLab repositories to their Data Productivity Cloud projects. The app solution provides high security by implementing the Principle of Least Privilege, meaning that the application requests only the permissions required to function, and nothing else. The requested permissions then allow the Data Productivity Cloud to store and retrieve data pipelines corresponding to the GitLab account of the particular user.

There are no installation steps for the Matillion GitLab application. However, you will be prompted to authorize that the application can access your account to act upon your behalf.

If, for any reason, you wish to stop the Data Productivity Cloud from accessing your GitLab repositories, you can easily revoke access from the Applications page in GitLab. This page can be found in the User Settings section, accessed by clicking your avatar once logged in to your GitLab account.

You can read more about GitLab applications in the GitLab documentation.
