GitLab

The "owner" field, used in many api calls, uses terminology that doesn't fit so well after the changes done to the permission structure. A suggestion for improvement would be to call it "scope", rather than "owner" and change some of the values, for example something like this:

old name	suggested new name
public	public
staging	staging
all	visible
visible	fully_visible
user	main_author
	writer
shared	viewer
admin	admin

The new values could first be introduced as synonyms for the existing values, to make the transition in steps.
