# Project integration management **(CORE ONLY)**

> [Introduced in](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2137) GitLab 13.3.

Project integrations can be configured and enabled by project administrators. As a GitLab instance administrator, you can set default configuration parameters for a given integration that all projects can inherit and use, enabling the integration for all projects that are not already using custom settings.

You can update these default settings at any time, changing the settings in use for all projects that are set to use instance-level defaults. This also enables the integration for all projects on which it was not already enabled.

It is only possible to inherit the complete settings for an integration. Per-field inheritance is [planned](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2137), as well as [group-level management](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2543) of integration settings.

## Manage default settings for a project integration

1. Navigate to **Admin Area > Settings > Integrations**.
1. Select a project integration.
1. Enter configuration details and click **Save changes**.

CAUTION: **Caution:**
This may affect all or most of the projects on your GitLab instance. Please review the details below.

If this is the first time you are setting up instance-level settings for an integration:

- The integration is enabled for all projects that do not already have this integration configured if you have the **Enable integration** toggle turned on in the instance-level settings.
- Projects that already have the integration configured are not affected, but can choose to use the inherited settings at any time.

When you make further changes to the instance defaults:

- They are immediately applied to all projects that have the integration set to use instance-level default settings.
- They are immediately applied to newer projects, created since you last saved defaults for the integration.
  - If your instance-level default setting has the **Enable integration** toggle turned on, the integration is automatically enabled for all such projects.
- Projects with custom settings selected for the integration are not immediately affected and may choose to use the latest instance-level defaults at any time.

It is only possible to inherit the complete settings for an integration. Per-field inheritance is [planned](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2137). This would allow instance administrators to update settings inherited by projects without enabling the integration on all non-configured projects by default.

## Use instance-level default settings for a project integration

1. Navigate to **Project > Settings > Integrations**.
1. Choose the integration you want to enable or update.
1. From the drop-down, select **Use default settings**.
1. Ensure the toggle is set to **Enable integration**.
1. Click **Save changes**.

## Use custom settings for a project integration

1. Navigate to **Project > Settings > Integrations**.
1. Choose the integration you want to enable or update.
1. From the drop-down, select **Use custom settings**.
1. Ensure the toggle is set to **Enable integration** and enter all required settings.
1. Click **Save changes**.
