User Group
User groups allow administrators to manage the roles assigned more easily. As soon as a user belongs to at least one group, its security definition will be managed from the group. Changing the group roles will change the users assigned to the group.
If a user belong to more than one group, the user security will be the result of merging the security of all groups the user belongs to.
The list view contains the following columns:
Name- Full name of the user group.Users- List of group members.
Creating a User Group¶
Group- Name of the Group.Users- List of users that belong to the group.
You must save the entered data before assigning Roles and Scopes.
Under these fields, a permissions table lets you assign roles to one or more scopes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Assigning Roles is only available to saved groups. So save first before adding roles to a group.
Permissions Table¶
The permissions table shows role-to-scope assignments with three columns:
- Scope - One or more scopes (projects, environments, or other CI types that implement the Project role) to which the roles apply. The scope column shows the CI class name and name for each scope entry, making it easier to identify different scope types.
- Roles - The roles assigned for the selected scopes.
- Actions - Edit, save, cancel, or delete the row.
Adding Permissions¶
Click the + button below the table to add a new row. Select one or more scopes from the multi-select dropdown, then select one or more roles. Click Save to confirm the row.
When scopes share the same set of roles, they are automatically merged into a single row. This reduces duplication and makes it easier to manage permissions at a glance.
Editing Permissions¶
Click the edit icon on an existing row to modify its scopes or roles. Click Save to confirm or Cancel to revert.
Removing Permissions¶
Click the delete icon on a row to remove it.
Maximize Button¶
The editor modal includes a maximize/restore toggle button in the title bar. Click the expand icon to make the modal fill the entire viewport, which is useful when managing many permissions rows. Click the shrink icon to restore the original size.
Editing a Group¶
Allows the Administrator to modify existing data for the selected group.
Deleting a Group¶
The selected group will be deleted. The system will provide a confirmation message before deleting the group.
Duplicating a Group¶
Allows duplication of the selected group. A new Group is created with the same values as the original.
