Management Concept in Puppet Enterprise

➕Adding Users and Creating Groups

The collaboration between team members is facilitated by Continuous Delivery for Puppet Enterprise (PE). By adding users to your workspace, you may share resources, and you can create groups to control the access granted to each team member.

Here, I will be teaching you the steps to add a user to the workspace, remove a user from the workspace, create a group and set group permissions.

🚨Create a Group and Set Group Permissions

Groups are created in order to organize users according to their job focus, permission level, geography, and many other criteria that you want to specify. In Continuous Delivery for Puppet Enterprise (PE), permissions specify which actions group members are permitted to carry out, such as adding control repositories, modifying jobs, and deploying code changes. Based on the purposes and requirements of each group, permissions are assigned.

Following are the steps to create a group and to set group permissions.

🪜The steps are as follows:

1. Click on the Settings button on the web UI of Continuous Delivery for PE.
    
2. Click on the Create new group, on the Groups tab.
    
3. Enter the details of the group (Name and Description).
    
4. Choose which permissions to give this group. See the Permissions reference for details on the range of each permission. Since group permissions are cumulative, a user who is a member of numerous groups is able to carry out all acts permitted by all of the permissions from all of the groups to which they have been allocated. To grant access to a selected group of the modules or control repos in your workspace:
   📌Click on the Edit Permission button in the permissions section.
   📌Click on the Save selection after selecting the modules and repos that are to be included in the subset. 
   📌Choose which privileges to grant the user group. All control repositories and modules in the workspace can have a list (view), delete, and edit rights enabled, or only the subset you want.
    
5. Click on Save and add users.
    
6. Select the workspace users you want to include in this group on the Add Users tab, then click Add Users to Group.
    
7. Click on the Done button. Your user group is created by Continuous Delivery for PE, which also links you to the group website.

👱Add a User to a Workspace

After creating a group, you need to add many users to work on the project. So, adding people to the workspace will allow users to work collectively. In the Settings section of the Continuous Delivery for PE web UI, you can add users.

1. Click on Settings, then click on Users on the web UI of Continuous Delivery for PE.
    
2. Click on the Add user button.
    
3. Search for the username or email address of the user you want to add to your workspace on the Add users to workspace page.
    
4. Select the user you wish to add to the workspace.
    
5. Assign the user to one or more permission groups for 4.4.0 and above versions.
    
6. To add additional users, repeat the above steps.
    
7. To go back to the Users screen and view a list of all the users who have access to your Continuous Delivery for PE workspace, click on the Done button.

➖Remove Users From Workspaces

In the Settings section of the Continuous Delivery for PE web UI, you can delete users from workspaces.

1. Make sure you are viewing the workspace you wish to remove the user from after logging in to the Continuous Delivery for PE web UI.
    
2. Click on Settings > Users.
    
3. Locate the user in the workspace, that you wish to remove.
    
4. Click on the Delete user button to remove the user from the workspace.
    
5. To remove multiple users, repeat the above steps.
