Overview

This node operation allows updating a specific package protection rule within a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing package access and security settings programmatically in CI/CD pipelines or automation workflows. For example, you can modify rules that control who can publish or install packages in a project.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating a package protection rule to restrict package publishing to certain user roles.
  2. Automating the modification of package protection rules as part of a project maintenance workflow.
