+In GitLab every project member that is not a guest (so reporters, developers and maintainers) can clone the repository to get a local copy.
 After obtaining this local copy the user can upload the full repository anywhere, including another project under their control or another server.
 The consequence is that you can't build access controls that prevent the intentional sharing of source code by users that have access to the source code.
 This is an inherent feature of a DVCS and all git management systems have this limitation.
