Types of permissions

There are various types of permissions that affect what you can see and access in the Application Deployment user interface (UI):

Action permissions

Three types of Action permissions affect access to Application Deployment:

  • The Managed Servers and Groups permission determines whether you can view managed servers and device groups. You need this capability in order to add servers to Application Deployment targets.
  • The Application Deployment permissions determine whether you can access the Application Deployment UI, whether you can create applications, and whether you have Application Deployment administrator privileges.
  • Three additional permissions determine whether you can reference Software Policies, Packages, Application Configurations, or OS Build Plans in application components or attach them to tiers.

All Action permissions are set by the SA system administrator.

Device group permissions

These permissions determine which device groups you can access. You need access to a device group in order to add servers in that device group to Application Deployment targets.

Device Group permissions are set by the SA system administrator.

Library folder permissions

Folder permissions further determine which specific library items (Software Policies, Packages, Application Configurations, or OS Build Plans) you can reference in your applications or attach to your tiers.

Folder permissions are set by the SA system administrator.

Application Deployment permissions

There are two types of Application Deployment permissions:

  • Application permissions determine who is allowed to view, edit, or deploy a specific application.

    Application permissions are set by the user who creates the application—or by any user who has been granted Edit permission for that application. The Application Deployment administrator can also set application permissions.
  • Environment permissions determine who is allowed to deploy applications into a specific environment. They also determine who is allowed to create or modify Application Deployment targets in that environment. Environment permissions are set by your Application Deployment administrator.

A description of the minimum permissions needed to accomplish common Application Deployment tasks is provided in this section. For a more comprehensive discussion of permissions, see the SA Administer section.
