# GitLab Issues Self-Managed

*📋 Setting up automated task creation in GitLab Issues*

Aikido can connect to GitLab Self-Managed (On-prem) so that you can create issues for security findings found through Aikido. For each of the findings in the 'Feed' of Aikido, a GitLab issue can be created, and linked.

You will be able to follow along in the Feed, to whom the ticket is assigned.

### 1. Set up integration <a href="#id-1-set-up-integration" id="id-1-set-up-integration"></a>

**Step 1.** Go to <https://app.aikido.dev/settings/integrations> and scroll down to the 'Task trackers' section.

**Step 3.** Click 'Save' and you're connected. Close the modal and you will redirected to the settings page.

### 2. Create a GitLab issue for a finding, inside Aikido <a href="#id-2-create-a-gitlab-issue-for-a-finding-inside-aikido" id="id-2-create-a-gitlab-issue-for-a-finding-inside-aikido"></a>

Go to the [Feed](https://app.aikido.dev/queue), and go to the security finding of choice. In the column 'Assignee', you will find the ability to assign a GitLab Issue to someone.

When you click on it, a popup will open.

When creating the Issue Task, this will be made clear in the UI of Aikido
