Any user with Read permission on the Release can view the Stage Execution Info but modifying requires the Upload Execution Info permission.

Aborted

The Stage was aborted.

In most cases this is due to a user manually aborting the Stage. There are a select few background processes that may abort a Stage. For example when Force Completing a Release any running stages will be aborted.

Failed

The Stage has failed.

This is typically the result of a Step within the Stage failing.

Gates Completed

Gates have completed and Steps are waiting to process.

When a Stage is in this status it typically means there is another Pipeline Execution running Steps in the same Stage. Once the latter execution completes this Stage will move on to Running Steps.

Gates Failed

One or more Gates within the Stage have failed.

Gates Running

The Stage is currently running Gates.

Not Started

The Stage has not begun to execute. This will only occur if a Stage prior to this one is still executing.

Out of Date

The Stage has been superseded and is now Out of Date.

At any given time there may multiple Pipeline Executions running for a Release. If at any point the latest Pipeline Execution proceeds to a later Stage than previous Pipeline Executions, they will be marked as Out of Date.
