User settings

Release has a role-based security system with two types of users:

  • Internal users: that are created by a Release administrator and managed by Release.
  • External users: that are maintained in an LDAP repository such as Active Directory.

After you configure LDAP security, external users can log in, at which point they are stored in Release as external users.

You can assign both internal and external users to roles, to which you assign global permissions.

Important: The Users page is only available to users who have the Admin or Edit Security global permission.

To view and edit Release users: In the top navigation bar, select User management > Users.
