    • Choose "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
  3. Navigate to CI/CD Settings:
    • Select "CI/CD" from the menu on the left-hand side of the Settings screen.

    • To turn off the shared runners in GitLab, click the "Enable shared runners for this project" option to uncheck it.
  5. Save Changes:
    • Click the "Save changes" button to save the adjustments.

Associating a Runner with Multiple Projects​

If you need to use a single runner for multiple GitLab projects, follow these steps to streamline your CI/CD workflows and manage resources efficiently:

  1. Ensure Proper Access:
    • Be the owner or maintainer of Project A and Project B.
  2. Add Runner to Project A:
    • Follow the GitLab documentation to register and configure the runner for Project A.
  3. Navigate to Runner Settings of Project A:
    • Go to Settings > CI/CD > Runner Settings of Project A.
  4. Edit Runner Properties:
    • Locate the desired runner in the Runner Settings.
    • Click on the Edit button to modify its properties.
  5. Unlock Runner for Multiple Projects:
    • In the runner's properties, uncheck the "Lock to current projects" box.
  6. Save Changes:
    • Save the changes to update the runner's settings.
  7. Enable Runner for Project B:
    • Go to Project B and enable the runner to associate it with Project B.

Repeat these steps for any additional projects you wish to associate with the runner. Ensure that the runner's resources are suitable for handling multiple projects simultaneously.
