Deployment Manager 2

User roles allow you to control user access to certain features in Deployment Manager, including deploying a release. There are three user roles available:

System administrator

System administrators have unrestricted access to Deployment Manager. They can configure all Deployment Manager settings and projects.

System administrators can have their permissions to edit and deploy a project revoked. For information, see Assigning project permissions.

Project administrator

Project administrators can configure their project, but can't configure Deployment Manager settings.

Standard user

Standard users can't make any configuration changes, but can view the Deployment Manager dashboard, and create releases.

Standard users can be granted permission to edit or deploy a project by a system administrator or project administrator. For information, see Assigning project permissions.

For the full list of permissions for user roles, see Permissions.

Adding a system administrator

The first user to visit the Deployment Manager web interface after installation creates a system administrator user account. System administrators can add or invite other users to Deployment Manager.
