Overview

This node operation allows updating a specific container registry protection rule for a project in GitLab via the GitLab API. It is useful for managing repository protection rules programmatically, such as modifying access controls or restrictions on container registry repositories within a project. For example, a DevOps engineer can automate the update of protection rules to enforce security policies across multiple projects.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the access level of a container registry protection rule for a project.
  2. Modifying the protection rule to restrict or allow certain users or groups from pushing to the container registry.
