Overview

This node operation authorizes access to a specific Conan package file within a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing and securing access to Conan package files in CI/CD pipelines or automated workflows involving package management in GitLab projects. For example, it can be used to programmatically authorize access to package files like conanfile.py or conan_package.tgz for a given project and package version.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate authorization of Conan package files in a GitLab project during a CI/CD pipeline.
  2. Manage access control for specific package files in a GitLab-hosted Conan repository.
