Stage Type Security
Introduction
The Stage Type can be secured to control who can edit the Configuration Variables, the Target Servers, the
Approver Selection and which Environments can be selected. Security definition of the Stage Type is “most
permissive.” For example, if a user is in 2 different groups and Edit is enabled in one of the 2 groups but not in the
other group, the user will be considered to have the rights to edit. Also, keep in mind that if a user is a Release
Manager, he will have access to view and edit Configuration Variables of any Stage Type.
Prerequisites
Here are some prerequisites in order to use this security level:
 You must log in using a Release manager account since Security Groups are only available to them.
Define Security
Allow limitation of stage types used by environment
1. Navigate to Configure Paths, Environments.
2. Open or create a New Environment.
3. Choose Stage Type Security tab.
4. By default, the system’s reserved stage type named All Stage Types will be selected with Can Use
permission. Since the security is “most permissive,” you will have to clear the Can Use permission of this
stage type to be able to control it manually over other stage types.
5. Choose the Add button to access the stage type lookup and select one or more stage type (hold CTRL key
to select more than one).
6. Select Can Use permission as needed for that stage type.
7. Choose the Save or Save & Close button of the environment to save all security changes.
