Continua creates some default groups, users and access controls that can be used as a basis for your security model.
| Name | Permissions | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Register Users | View Configuration, All Builds permissions, View Project | This is the default group that every user is added to when they are created. Change the permissions on the User role to affect the base permissions for all users |
| Administrators | All Permissions | This is the default administrator group/role and cannot be deleted. It is best practice to add any additional administrator users to this group. Continua's first user is automatically added to this group. |
| Ldap Administrators | All Permissions | This group is only present for when Continua's authentication mode is configured to use either LDAP or Mixed. This group is automatically linked to the Active Directory's Continua Administration group. |
| CI Server Administrators | Manage CI Server, Manage CI Agents, All project, configuration and build permissions | This group enables users to manage all CI server properties, including agents. These users do not have access to core administration sections but they do have full control over all projects, configurations and builds. |
| Agent Administrators | Manage CI Agents | This group only specifies the agents permission. This can be used in conjunction with other groups to grant certain users control over the CI agents. |
| Guest | By default this group has no permissions. The guest user and role is a special account that allows you to specify permissions for any users without a login | |
| Project Administrators | All project, configuration and build permissions | This group gives users control over all projects, configurations and builds, including project security management. |
| Project Editors | All project configuration and build permissions (excluding project security) | This group gives users control over all projects, configurations and builds, excluding project security management. |
| Configuration Administrators | View project, all configuration and build permissions | This group gives users control over all configurations and builds, including configuration security management. |
| Configuration Editors | View project, all configuration and build permissions (excluding configuration security) | This group gives users control over all configurations and builds, **ex****cluding** configuration security management. |
| Build Contributors | View project, view configuration and all build permissions (excluding build promotion) | This group give users control over all builds, excluding build promotion. |
| Build Promoters | View project, view configuration and all build permissions | This group give users control over all builds, including build promotion. |
| Build Viewers | View project and view configuration | This group can see which builds have been completed but cannot interact with them at all. Think of this group as a read-only group. |
