Can i play gta online with friends who haven t finished the story?

The single piece of verified evidence provided is a Wikipedia article about Hillary Clinton, detailing her political career as First Lady of the United States, U.S. Senator from New York, and Secretary of State. This information has no connection to GTA Online, Grand Theft Auto video games, or their multiplayer requirements. Without any evidence about GTA Online's story mode prerequisites or multiplayer access, I cannot determine whether players need to complete the story mode to play online with friends. The evidence base is entirely unrelated to the question posed.
