FlexDeploy requires an authenticated login by a defined user within its repository. When FlexDeploy is installed, administrator would have created default administration user and password. Administrators can further create more users or integrate with enterprise directory servers for user access.

Searching Users

Select Administration -> Security -> Users from the menu.

By default, all users are displayed in the search results. To refine the search results, select one or more criteria options and click the Search button. Select the Any radio button to indicate that the search results should include users matching any of the specified criteria, or the All radio button to indicate that the search results should only include users matching all of the specified criteria. Click the Reset button to clear the search criteria form.

Creating/Editing Users

Select Administration -> Security -> Users from the menu.

To create a new user click the Create button. To edit an existing user, select that user and click the Edit button or simply click on user name.

Enter the required User Details as defined in the table below.

Field Name	Required	Description
User Name	Yes	The user name that the user will login with.
First Name	Yes	The first name of the user.
Last Name	Yes	The last name of the user.
Email	Yes¹	The user's email address.
Active	Yes	A flag indicating whether this user is active. Defaults to "Yes".
Password	Yes²	The user's password.

Created By	N/A	The user who created this user (read only).
Updated On	N/A	The date and time the user was last updated (read only).
Updated By	N/A	The user who last updated this user (read only).

¹ Email is a required field. Any configured notifications sent to this user rely on the email address being set.
² To enter a password, click the Update Password button, and enter and confirm the password. The password is only updatable for users created in the Local realm. If the user is created from an external LDAP or Active Directory realm the password is managed within the external LDAP or Active Directory.

Assign Group Membership for the user by shuttling one or more groups from Available Groups to Selected Groups. Creating FlexDeploy Groups is covered in the next section.

Finally, check any events under User Attributes for which this user should receive notifications when he or she is the submitter of a build or deployment request. The user will then receive an email notification when the corresponding event occurs. Users who commit code which is included in a build are also notified of these events when selected.

Optionally, enter the user's Slack User Id. This is only used to identify the FlexDeploy user by their Slack user for performing actions while executing webhook functions.

User Details and User Attributes can be updated by the user as Self Service. Group Membership can only be updated by FlexDeploy Administrators.
