 +
 +Of the CE-included feature, the UNIGE GitLab instance does not support the following ones:
 +  - CI/CD shared runners (cf. https://dataforum.unige.ch/t/gitlab-runners-not-available/401)
 +  - Pages (cf. https://dataforum.unige.ch/t/gitlab-pages-support/194)
 +  - PlantUML (cf. https://gitlab.unige.ch/help/administration/integration/plantuml.md via https://support-si.unige.ch/openentry.html?tid=INC000000146442)

 +  * you will be automatically authenticated and you will obtain the following message confirming your e-mail address validation: 
 +<note tip>

 +    * here's an example of a confirmation link:   
 +<note tip>
