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.
Below, you will find a series of possible functions that your role as a admin grants within the portal:
Managing Projects
To see or update the settings of a project, click the Project Key (NEWPROJECT2 in the example). Click More ... to open the actions menu.
To modify a project you click the Project Key and check the box Edit Details at the bottom of the page. This will enable you to change the Name, the text in the Description field, the Type and the Jira Notification Scheme of your project. As well you are able to add tools to the project.
The action menu behind the More... button gives you additional control over the projects YOU created.
It enables you to do the following:
- Manage Users: Assign Users to the Project
- Manage Technical Users: Assign Technical Users for API access to the project
- Resync.: Since the DevOps Portal manages Projects accross all tools in the DevOps toolchain it now automatically links projects with the same Project Key in all tools which each other. To activate it for an existing project, simply Resync the Project. ???
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.
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.
