- Use global permissions control access to various objects in FlexDeploy. Global permissions do not control access at individual item level but rather at entire object level, i.e. if you grant Create / Update access for Workflow to group, members of that group can create or update any workflow. See global permissions for FlexDeploy group.
- Use deployment permissions to restrict available environments on deployment request form. See deployment permissions for FlexDeploy group. For example, if you want to restrict specific group of users from deploying environments other than development and test, then configure deployment permissions accordingly. Alternatively, you can allow for deployment to all environments and setup approvals using FlexDeploy approvals or external change management system approvals.
- Finer grained permissions
- Project - control access (read, create, configure, execute etc.) to specific projects for FlexDeploy groups. You can configure this for a project or folder. Configurations at folder level apply to all projects contained in it. See Project Security. This model allows for restricting configuration edits of projects to specific groups and still allow others to view and execute build / deploy on projects.
- Release - control access (read, configure, execute etc.) to specific release for FlexDeploy groups. You can configure this using global permissions and override at specific release as necessary. See Release Security.
- Pipeline - control access (abort, replay, skip etc.) on pipeline execution. Pipeline allows for abstraction in to roles that are mapped to FlexDeploy group and/or users. For example, developers, leaders, managers, operators etc. are some examples of pipeline roles. You can define permissions on each pipeline role. See Pipeline team security.
