Authorize users at the site level

At the site level, you can assign administration or read-only permissions to TeamForge users and groups.

1. Make sure that the Authentication and Authorization plugin component is installed.
2. In your Hudson installation, go to Manage Hudson > Configure System and select Enable Security.
3. Select CollabNet Authorization to specify what TeamForge users or groups can do on the site.
   1. To reduce the load on the application server, a user's TeamForge roles are cached while checking permissions. If you want to turn off caching, set the Authorization Timeout value to 0.
      Note: The permission cache is only valid for the session and is discarded when you log off.
   2. Enter a comma-separated list of users or groups to whom you want to grant administer privileges.
      Note: Site administrators in TeamForge will automatically get Hudson administrator rights, but you'll need to manually add any other users or groups you'd like to have administrator access. It's a good idea to add your own username here, so you don't lock yourself out.
   3. Specify the TeamForge users or groups to whom you want to grant read-only privileges.
   Note: To grant users permissions within individual projects, see these instructions.
4. Click Save.
