GitLab v9.7.0 published on Monday, Dec 22, 2025 by Pulumi

    The gitlab.UserAvatar resource allows users to manage the lifecycle of a user avatar. The resource can also be used to set the avatar on project or group access tokens, as well as on service accounts.

    The token attribute is optional only when the GitLab token used by the provider has an administrator scope, as this allows an administrator to manage user avatars.

    The provided token must have the api scope in order to set the avatar.

    Import

    Starting in Terraform v1.5.0, you can use an import block to import gitlab_user_avatar. For example:

    terraform

    import {

    to = gitlab_user_avatar.example

    id = “see CLI command below for ID”

    }

    Importing using the CLI is supported with the following syntax:

    A GitLab User Avatar can be imported using the user id, e.g.

    $ pulumi import gitlab:index/userAvatar:UserAvatar example "12345"
    

    NOTE: the token and avatar resource attributes are not available for imported resources as this information cannot be read from the GitLab API.
