Global Permissions
Global Permissions define the authority a group (and its users) has for the various objects within FlexDeploy. The FlexDeploy Administrator has all privileges across the FlexDeploy system. To designate the group as a FlexDeploy Administrator, select the FlexDeploy Administrator checkbox. Additionally, few permissions are only available to FlexDeploy Administrator users, like setting up Security details (users, groups, realms etc.).
For each FlexDeploy object, select the necessary checkboxes indicating which permissions should be granted to the group. The table below provides a description for the various permission types. Note that each FlexDeploy object may only have subset of these permissions.
Permission Type | Description |
|---|---|
Page View | Allows opening the pages, but not necessarily seeing any objects on the pages. |
Read | Allows viewing the contents of objects. |
Update | Allows updating the contents of existing objects. |
Create/Update | Allows creating new objects and updating existing objects. |
Upload | Allows uploading file to create new objects. |
Delete | Allows deleting existing objects. |
| Create Snapshot | Allows creating release snapshots. |
| Configure Project List | Allows managing the projects on releases. |
| Configure Pipeline | Allows configuring the pipeline on releases. |
| Configure CMS | Allows changing the CMS settings on releases. |
| Manage Lifecycle | Allows starting, pausing, and ending releases. |
| Grant Permissions | Allows modifying the permissions on releases. This allows some users to have access to certain parts of certain releases. |
| View Tracking | Allows viewing webhook messages page. |
| View Message Logs | Allows viewing logs of a webhook message. |
| View Message Details | Allows viewing details of a webhook message. |
| Resubmit Message | Allows resubmitting a webhook message. |
The Select Read-only button provides a shortcut for selecting all permissions that effectively grant the group read permissions to every FlexDeploy object.
