DevOps Portal for Admins
Welcome to the DevOps portal. This guide will guide you through the features that this portal role grants you so that you have a hassle-free experience.
Upon receiving the invitation email, your initial action should be to activate your account
This process is the same as for regular users, and you can find detailed instructions by following the guide provided at this link.
The same approach can be utilized for other functionalities, which I will list below:
Below, you will find a series of possible functions that your role as a admin grants within the portal:
Administration menu of the DevOps Portal
In the Administration menu you can have special options to choose from, most of these features are for troubleshooting and monitoring.
Usage Terms
With the "Usage Terms" option you can create and upload your own terms and condition documents about the usage of your own DevOps-as-a-Service toolchain. It is basically an option to provide any document to accept by the users (e.g. documents related to data protection regulations).
As an administrator, you can upload a document by selecting this option and clicking Create new Terms.
Choose the preferred language, then click Choose file, browse the selected file from your local drive and click Open.
The uploaded document is shown, you can check the content by clicking Open, remove the document by clicking Delete, or you can also Cancel the whole operation. If you would like to use the selected document, click Save.
The selected document will be listed in the documents table and you will be logged out - to re-login and to accept the uploaded document.
After uploading a new terms and conditions document, every existing user has to accept it. Otherwise they are not allowed to login to the DevOps portal.
When new users are invited to the portal, they will receive the uploaded file as an attachment in the invitation mail (so they will be able to read it before following the activation URL).
Every user (including administrators) have to accept the uploaded document only one time, however if you upload another document then both documents have to be accepted by the users.
To remove an uploaded document, click Delete. If you would like to check the content of the uploaded document, click View.
If you decide not to upload a document at all (or you delete all the existing uploaded documents) the invitation process and the login of users will not depend on the acceptance of any document, since nothing is to be accepted.
Synchronization
All actions related to users or projects must be synchronized with the LDAP server prior to becoming effective. All pending (i.e. unfinished) synchronizations are listed at the Pending synchronizations page. Successful and finished synchronizations won't be listed.
This information is mainly provided for troubleshooting, in case of errors during the synchronization with the LDAP server.
Health
The Health page summarizes health checks for several components, such as the Database, the Disk space, the LDAP server and the Application. Depending on the actual service, more details might be available by clicking the eye symbol.
Licenses
The Licenses page provides information about the number of Active and Available Users as well as the package's User Limit.
Audits
Provides the audit log to check all past activities related to the Portal for up to 90 days.
