## How to scan a personal GitLab project
At this moment, Aikido only allows to scan projects which are linked to a group. Projects linked to your GitLab user are currently not supported.\
\
If you'd like to enable code scanning on your personal GitLab projects, we recommend you create a personal group and transfer the projects there. To accomplish this, we recommend you follow the steps below.
#### Step 1. Create a new group in GitLab
Login to your GitLab account, navigate to "Groups" in the left-hand side navigation and click on "New group". Follow the steps to create a group.
#### Step 2. Transfer your personal projects to the newly created group
Now, you can transfer your personal projects to the newly created group. To do this, navigate to the project's detail page and go to it's "General settings", which you can see in the left-hand side navigation. At the bottom you can expand the "Advanced" settings section.
At the bottom of this section, you can transfer this project to a different namespace.\
#### Step 3. Connect the group to Aikido
Now that you transferred your new project to the new namespace aka "group", you can connect Aikido to that group and allow read-only acces to start scanning for vulnerabilities.\
\
In Aikido, select the Group dropdown picker in the left-hand side navigation, and click on "Add another workspace".
You will now go through the flow of connecting your newly created GitLab group to Aikido to grant read-only access to your personal projects.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/code-scanning/connect-your-source-code/how-to-scan-a-personal-gitlab-project.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
