Grouping of users in Gitlab

I have a set of users who are common to all of the groups and projects in the company. Presently, I have to add those "common members" individually to each and every group or project. Is there any way to group them by a name, thereby adding them to groups or projects?

For example, A, B anc C are the common members and can be grouped by name X, so that X can be added, instead of individually adding A, B and C

PS: Users are from LDAP

Users are from LDAP

Aynthing LDAP related would be, interm of group synchronization, related to GitLab EE (Enterprise Edition)

But, if you can simply define main group for your common team, and subgroup for your specific teams/projects, you can use EE/CE Namespaces

In GitLab, a namespace is a unique name to be used as a user name, a group name, or a subgroup name.

• http://gitlab.example.com/username
• http://gitlab.example.com/groupname
• http://gitlab.example.com/groupname/subgroup_name

For example, consider a user named Alex:

• Alex creates an account on GitLab.com with the username alex; their profile will be accessed under https://gitlab.example.com/alex
• Alex creates a group for their team with the groupname alex-team; the group and its projects will be accessed under https://gitlab.example.com/alex-team
• Alex creates a subgroup of alex-team with the subgroup name marketing; this subgroup and its projects will be accessed under https://gitlab.example.com/alex-team/marketing

(Here you can replace 'alex-team' by 'common-team', or any other more descriptive name)

By doing so:

• Any team member mentions Alex with @alex
• Alex mentions everyone from their team with @alex-team
• Alex mentions only the marketing team with @alex-team/marketing
