2.4 Configure Groups
2.4.1 “Everyone”
The group named Everyone is a reserved group automatically added by the system. Some security
parameters may be modified within this group. Please be aware that since the permissions are evaluated to
“most permissive”, you will have to remove permissions to this group if you want to control them manually
within other groups (for example: if you do not remove Can Create Release Template from Everyone and
remove it from a specific group, all users will still be able to create a Release Template even if they are part
of that specific group).
2.4.2 Add AD Groups
1. In the main menu, choose Administration. Then, in the sub-menu, choose Manage Groups. The list of
active groups will appear.
2. Choose the arrow to the right of the New button to display more options. Choose the New From AD
option. This will display the Select Groups dialog. This dialog is the common AD object selection dialog.
Navigate through it to find the AD Groups you would like to synchronize with the release management
Server.
3. Choose OK to confirm your AD Groups selection. The process will start and all members of the selected
AD Groups will be created, all the selected AD Groups will have a corresponding RM Group created and
these will be set to Synched. This will allow you to refresh their contents at a later time.
Note: The release management server monitors groups that are synchronized to AD and can
automatically refresh their content based on a configurable interval. This interval can be configured under
Administration, Settings.
2.4.3 Add TFS Groups
1. In the main menu, choose Administration. Then, in the sub-menu, choose Manage Groups. The list of
active groups will appear.
2. Choose the arrow to the right of the New button to display more options. Choose the New From TFS
option. This will display the Available TFS Groups dialog, allowing you to select the Connection,
Collection, and Team Project.
Note: If the New From TFS option is disabled, it may be because there is no valid TFS Connection
configured. Refer to section Configure TFS Connections for details.
3. Select at least one TFS Group and choose Add to start the process. All members of the selected TFS
Groups will be created, all the selected TFS Groups will have a corresponding RM Group created and these
will be set to Synched. This will allow you to refresh their contents at a later time.
Note: RM monitors groups that are synchronized to TFS and can automatically refresh their content based
on a configurable interval. This interval can be configured under Administration, Settings.
2.4.4 Edit Groups
1. In the main menu, choose Administration. Then, in the sub-menu, choose Manage Groups. The list of
