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. If LDAP or Active Directory realms are configured or Single Sign-on is setup, then users can login with credentials stored in external directory servers, but user record is still created for such users, and those users are marked with Local User as N (false).

Searching Users

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

Open

By default, all active users are displayed in the search results and sorted by Updated On descending order. Use the column headings to sort the data and use the filter icons to filter it.

Click on a User Name to edit that user.

Creating/Editing Users

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

Open

To create a new user click the Create button. To edit an existing user, click on the User Name.

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

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. If updating your own password, then you must provide your current password. If administrator is updating password for another user, then administrator’s own password must be entered in Your Password input.

Assign Groups to the user by clicking in the Assigned Groups field, optionally typing to filter, and clicking on the groups that you want to add. Remove groups with the trash can icon. See Creating FlexDeploy Groups for more information if necessary.

Finally, check any notifications this user should receive when he or she is the submitter of a 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 if their email matches the email of the commit. 

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

User Information and Notifications can also be updated by the logged in user on the user profile page.

Group Membership can only be updated by FlexDeploy Administrators, and can not be edited for the current user.
