The feature you wanted - Expanded Guest capabilities in GitLab Ultimate

What this post added

Introduced customizable roles for GitLab Ultimate customers, starting with an MVC that allows Guest users to view code in private projects. This involved technical discovery and performance testing to ensure a scalable backend implementation for role creation and usage. The custom role is created via API and can be assigned to users, effectively creating a 'Guest+1' role. This addresses a customer pain point regarding Guest user limitations in private projects.
