People management and permissions

What types of users do you have in Springloops?

There are two common types of users: Administrators (admins) and Developers. There can be numerous administrators and developers.

What are the basic differences between them?

Administrators have access to all projects, whereas developers only to those that they are assigned to.

Administrators can see the People tab, whereas developers can only see the Team tab in the project to which they are assigned.

Administrators can deploy data onto all servers, whereas developers cannot see servers that have been limited only to Admins.

Administrators see the Options tab, developers do not have that option.

Administrators can manage projects and people, developers do not have any of those options.

How I can make a person an administrator?

1. On the Dashboard screen open the Options tab on the right side of the page.
2. Scroll down to the “Permissions” section
3. Tick the checkbox next to a person that is supposed to be an Administrator
4. Click the “Save changes” button

How can I assign people to projects?

1. Open the Project tab and go to the Team tab
2. Click “Add a new member” on the right side
3. Select a user name from the drop down list or use a form located below to add a new person to your Springloops account and assign him/her to a project

What is the difference between removing a person from project and deleting him/her?

If you remove a person from a project, you just make that person unable to access this particular project, however he/she is still able to access other projects to which he/she is assigned. When you delete a person, you remove him/her completely from the system and from all projects.

Where can I find information about accessing the repository and how to access it?

Login and password are the same as for the Springloops web interface. To find the project URL, please:
1. Open a project and on the “Overview” tab click “My repository access details”
2. Copy the URL and paste it to your Subversion client

How to limit deployment only to certain people?

Access to a server can be limited to an Administrator only. To do that:
1. Open a project and go to the “Deploy” tab
2. Click on the server name to edit its settings
3. Select the “Admin only” checkbox

How can I make my repository public?

Please add a new user and give him username and password "anonymous". Tick the check-box "read-only", so this user won't be able to log-in to your Springloops web interface. He will be only able browse, update and check-out repositories of projects to which he will be assigned.

From that point when you can give a link to your repository which you find in project Overview tab. It looks like this:
https://account.springloops.com/source/projectname

Other people will be able to browse the repository. However they may be asked in some programs for username and passwords (both "anonymous"), so please inform them about it.
