+Everybody using your GitLab server must have a user account.
 User accounts are quite simple, they mainly contain personal information attached to login data.
 Each user account has a *namespace*, which is a logical grouping of projects that belong to that user.
 If the user +jane+ had a project named +project+, that project's url would be `http://server/jane/project`.
