Managing Users

Intro to Users

Users are given access to DeployHub Pro Objects based on their Group access. By default there are three Groups.

-Administrator Group - The User who initially signs into DeployHub Pro is automatically added to this Group. By default, this Group has access to all objects. -User Group - All Users who sign in after the initial Administrator User is created. -Everyone Group - All Users regardless of their assigned Group are automatically added to this Group. It is the default Group that provides access to “everyone” for all Objects. To restrict Everyone access, update the Access options at the Object level. This Group cannot be modified. If you delete a User from the system, they will be deleted from the Everyone Group.

A many-to-many relationship exists between Users and Groups, so that a User can belong to many different Groups, and a Group can contain many different Users. If a User belongs to more than one Group, the User will be given the highest level of access.

Users and Domain Inheritance

Users are created under a Domain. A User that is created at a higher level Domain will inherit access to all Subdomains, based on their access settings. Group access and inherited access properties can be overridden within a Sub-Domain. As an example, Administrators, Director, and Operational level Users or Groups can be assigned to the highest level Domain for the Enterprise while Application Teams and Testing Teams can be defined to only the Subdomains that pertain to their area of expertise. Users or Groups can belong to multiple Domains.

Using the User List View for Adding or Deleting

You will find Users under on the left side of the DeployHub Pro dashboard. Selecting Users will take you to a list of all Users which you have access to. You can also use the Filter bar, represented by a funnel icon, to reorder your Users List View based on Users and Domains.

The Users List View has the following Tabs.

Tab	Description
Refresh	Refreshes the browser.
Add	Allows you to Add a new User of a particular type.
Delete	Deletes the selected item.

From the User List View, double click on the User which you would like to view to see all Details.

Using the User Dashboard for Viewing and Editing

The User Dashboard view displays all information related to a specific User.

Group Membership

This Section contains a list of all the Groups the selected User belongs to. Add a Group to the selected User by clicking on the plus ‘+Add’ sign in the upper right, which adds an empty row to the table with a drop down list of all available Groups. Use the Save option to commit it to the table. Use the Trash Can icon to delete a Group from the table.

DeployHub Pro allows you to create custom Groups for assigning Users giving you more security control around the Objects. For information on how to create User Groups with DeployHub Pro see Creating User Groups

Audit Trail

The Audit Trail displays audit entries for any changes that impact this Object.

• Comment: Click on ‘Comment’ to add information. There is a field above the list labeled “Say something about this Object” that can have written comments placed into it, or files can be attached to the comment. Entering text into this field activates the Add Message button. Click to save the comment as a line in the list.

• Add Files to Comments: Click on the paperclip icon to add a file to the message. Once done, click on the “Add Message” button. These attachments can later be retrieved by clicking on the paperclip icon which then displays the name of the file within a list.
