Manage Access

By default, only a system administrator can create a namespace. After the namespace is created, the administrator can add other users to the namespace and assign them roles. By default, a namespace comes with only one predefined role:

  • Namespace Admin – intended for users that should be allowed to manage access and configure namespace settings as well as contribute to the namespace repositories.

However, you can create new custom roles with a different variety of namespace access permissions.

Add people to the namespace

  1. Find the namespace.

  2. On the namespace menu, select Access.

  3. Click Add people and choose a person or team from the list.

  4. Choose what role the participant should have in the namespace. By default, there is only one predefined role: Namespace Admin.

  5. Click Save.

    All namespace participants are listed on the page. The filters above the list show the roles used in the namespace and the number of participants in each role.

Revoke namespace access rights

You can revoke access permissions provided by any role by removing a participant from the list on the Access page.

  1. Find the namespace.

  2. On the sidebar namespace menu, select Access.

  3. Find a person or group you want to remove using the Search by name field, or click a corresponding role on top of the list to filter it.
