The pipeline referenced by a release optionally defines a set of pipeline roles with default members. The Roles tab allows viewing the roles and their members, and it also allows for overriding the members. Overriding role members by release allows for different responsibilities for specific releases.

Tip

Overriding Example

A "Release ManagerTechnical Leads" role could have Group1 as a member for Release1 and Group2 as a member for Release2.

...

To override the members for the release, select the switch at the top right next to Override Members. Now, when opening a role’s popup, you can add and remove groups and users from the role. Multiple email recipients (used for notification only) can be specified by separating with either a semi-colon or comma. To revert the members of a role to the defaults defined on the pipeline, unselect the switch on top next to Override Members. Permissions associated with a role can only be modified on the pipeline. Remember to click Save to save your changes.

Tip

Tips

  • As a best practice, avoid assigning users directly to pipeline roles. Instead, create a group with assigned users, and assign the group to the role. This allows managing users in a centralized location, and avoids management across potentially many pipelines and releases.

  • Establish defaults in the role definitions of the pipeline, especially if team members are common across releases, to eliminate the need to configure the team on each and every release.
