Teams

Our Team Management feature allows you to manage the following capabilities:

  • Allocate users to teams
  • Allocate applications to teams
  • Assign team administrators
  • Allocate environments to teams

NOTE: Editing of teams is restricted to users with the team:manage:* permission (Administrators) or who have been assigned as Team Administrators by an existing user with the team manage permission.

Teams Management Screen

A new Team will allow you to create a new team and assign applications and environments to that team.

Deleting a team allows you to unlink all users, applications and environments from a team and remove it. Deleting the team will also disassociate any secrets and webhooks that were associated with the team. The secrets and webhooks that were disassociated will then be editable only by users with the secret:manage:* and webhook:manage:* permissions respectively (eg Administrators).

Editing a team allows you to change the name and applications of an existing team, assign Team Administrators and assign environments.

Clicking the team's name will take you to the allocated user's screen.

The "Default" team​

The contract_data:manage:team permission that comes with the User role allows users to manage contract-related data (for example, publish pacts and verification results) for applications assigned to their teams. To help you get started with teams quickly, every new PactFlow account is set up with a special, system defined "Default" team. All new users and applications are automatically added to this team on creation.

The default team can be deleted once your own user defined teams have been created. From then on, users and applications will need to be assigned to teams explicitly through the UI. To ensure that your users can continue to manage their applications, you should create your own teams with the appropriate users and applications assigned before deleting the default team.

Editing or Creating a team​

Edit Team

With the team applications, you can search for applications and add them to the team. This allows the team users to be able to filter the main dashboard by those applications.

Team Administrators can also be assigned to this screen. Team Administrators can assign users and applications to a team, and update its name.

Lastly, environments can be allocated to the team here. Once selected the environments can be re-ordered and saved in that order.

Allocating users to a team​

Edit Team Users

You can search for users by name to add to the team. Clicking the trashcan icon next to a user will remove them from the team.

Edit takes you to the edit team dialog, and Delete allows you to delete the team.

You can also switch to other teams from this screen by using the team select box at the top.
