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 the user name.

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

If the user is created from an external LDAP or Active Directory realm the password is managed within the external LDAP or Active Directory.

Password Policy

@Since 5.5.0.3

Passwords have the following minimal requirements:

Minimal character length of 8
1 lower case letter
1 upper case letter
1 digit
1 special character (i.e. -+_!@#$%^&*.?)

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.
