Granting users project permissions
You can manage the members in your projects using the Amazon CodeCatalyst console. You can add or remove users, manage current members' roles, send invitations to join your project, and cancel invitations that have not yet been accepted.
On the members page for space and project users, users can have multiple roles. Users with multiple roles will show an indicator when they have multiple roles, and they will be displayed with the role with the most permissions first.
Getting a list of members and their project roles
When you add a user to your project, you assign a role that grants project permissions as follows:
-
The Project administrator role has all permissions in a project. Only assign this role to users who need to administer every aspect of a project, including editing project settings, managing project permissions, and deleting the project. For more information, see Project administrator role.
-
The Contributor role has the permissions required to work in a project. Assign this role to those users who need to work with code, workflows, issues, and actions in a project. For more information, see Contributor role.
-
The Reviewer role has review permissions. For details, see Reviewer role.
-
The Read only role has read permissions. For details, see Read only role.
You do not need to invite a user with the Space administrator role to your project because they already have implicit access to all projects in the space.
When you invite a user to your project (without assigning the Space administrator role), the user will show in the Project members table under projects and in theProject members table under spaces.
To view users and roles in a space
Open the CodeCatalyst console at https://codecatalyst.aws/
. -
Navigate to the space with the project you want to view. Under Projects, choose your project.
-
In the navigation pane, choose Project settings.
-
Choose the Members tab.
The Project members table shows all members that have a role in a project.
Tip
If you have the Space administrator role, you can view which projects you have been directly invited to. Navigate to Project settings for the project, and then choose My projects.
The Space administrators table shows users with the Space administrator role. These users are automatically (implicity) assigned to all projects in the space and do not have a role in a project.
In the Status column, the following are valid values:
-
Invited – CodeCatalyst sent the invitation but the user has not yet accepted or declined.
-
Member – The user accepted the invitation.
