Navigating to the Admin Area of GitLab Post UI Changes

Ever since changes were made in their user interface, many have found it challenging to locate the admin area on GitLab. Here’s how you can easily get there:

Direct Link Method:

Head over directly by visiting this URL (replace ACME with your actual domain name):

[https://gitlab.acme.net/admin](https://gitlab.acme.net/admin)

This method is straightforward and requires no additional steps within the GitLab platform itself, providing quick access to administrative tools when needed.

Step-by-Step Internal Access:

Alternatively, for those who prefer a more detailed internal approach or need it frequently:

1. Click on your Gitlab Gravatar located in the left bar of their interface (assuming you’re signed into GitLab).
2. Next, select your username within the subsequent popup menu that appears; this will take you to your user namespace, where ACME is again place-holder for actual domain name: https://gitlab.acme.net/myusername
3. In these specifics, locate the far right profile icon beside your username and click on it to access administrative controls of GitLab itself directly from within their interface without external redirection - as illustrated below with an image placeholder (link would be actual path or visual representation):

Note: Replace ACME and the link provided above accordingly for your specific GitLab domain.
