Authorizing CodeArts Pipeline

You can configure CodeArts Pipeline permissions at three levels to control user behaviors.

**Table 1** Pipeline permissions
Level	Module	Description
Tenant-level permissions	Extension, tenant-level policy, tenant-level rule, and pipeline template	Permissions to manage module resources in a tenant. You can configure permissions in IAM. The configurations take effect for all projects of a tenant.
Project-level permissions	Pipeline, policy (project-level), microservice, and change	Permissions to manage module resources of a specific project. You can configure permissions in project settings. The configurations take effect for all resources of a project.
Resource-level permissions	Pipeline	Permissions to perform operations for a specific pipeline. You can configure permissions in a pipeline. The configuration takes effect for a specified pipeline.

Tenant-level permissions

IAM allows you to configure permissions for specified users regarding tenant-level rules, tenant-level policies, extensions, and pipeline templates.

Log in to CodeArts using a tenant account or an authorized account.
Click the username in the upper right corner and select IAM.

In the navigation pane on the left, choose User Groups. On the displayed page, create a user group or select an existing user group, and click Authorize.

Select the CodeArts Pipeline service to check related policies, as shown in the following table.

**Table 2** Pipeline policies
Policy Name	Description
CloudPipeline Tenant Rules FullAccess	Full permissions on tenant-level rules within CodeArts Pipeline. Permissions on rules correspond to cloudpipeline:rule:update in IAM. An administrator can use the system-defined policy CloudPipeline Tenant Rules FullAccess or custom policies to authorize users. Common users can check all tenant-level rules. Authorized users can check and manage all tenant-level rules.
CloudPipeline Tenant Rule Templates FullAccess	Full permissions on tenant-level policies within CodeArts Pipeline. Permissions on pipeline policies correspond to cloudpipeline:ruletemplate:update in IAM. An administrator can use the system-defined policy CloudPipeline Tenant Rule Templates FullAccess or custom policies to authorize users. Common users can check all tenant-level policies. Authorized users can check and manage all tenant-level policies.
CloudPipeline Tenant Extensions FullAccess	Full permissions on extensions within CodeArts Pipeline. Permissions on extensions correspond to cloudpipeline:extensions:update in IAM. An administrator can use the system-defined policy CloudPipeline Tenant Extensions FullAccess or custom policies to authorize users. Common users can view all extensions. Authorized users can view and manage all extensions.
CloudPipeline Tenant Pipeline Templates FullAccess	Full permissions on pipeline templates within CodeArts Pipeline. Permissions on pipeline templates correspond to cloudpipeline:pipelinetemplate:update in IAM. An administrator can use the system-defined policy CloudPipeline Tenant Pipeline Templates FullAccess or custom policies to authorize users. Common users can create templates and view all templates. However, they can manage only the templates created by themselves. Authorized users can view and manage all templates.

Select the required policies, click Next, and set the minimum authorization scope for the user group.
Add the specified users to the user group to complete user authorization.

In addition to system-defined policies, tenants can also create custom policies to grant permissions.

Project-level permissions

CodeArts allows you to configure permissions on pipeline resources for each role in a project.

Log in to the Huawei Cloud console.
Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Developer Services > CodeArts Pipeline from the service list.
Click Access Service to access the CodeArts Pipeline homepage.
On the top navigation bar, click Homepage to access the CodeArts homepage.
Click a project name to access the project.
In the left navigation pane on the left, choose Settings > Permissions.
Pipeline-related resources are in CodeArts Pipeline. They are change, pipeline, policy (project-level), microservice, pre-production environment, production environment, test environment, parameter group, and job template.

By default, a user with permissions to edit or execute pipelines can also view pipelines.

Pipeline permissions

The following table lists the pipeline permissions for each role in a project in the initial state.

Resource-level permissions
You can configure permissions for a single pipeline by role or user. For details, see Configuring Pipeline Permissions.

Role permissions
- The project admin, pipeline creator, and project manager can change pipeline role permissions.
- By default, role permissions for a pipeline are the same as the role permissions at the project level. If role permissions at the project level are changed, role permissions in a pipeline will be changed accordingly.
- If you change the role permissions for a pipeline, the changed permissions will take effect, because the resource-level permissions take precedence over the project-level permissions.
User permissions
- The project admin, pipeline creator, and project manager can change pipeline user permissions.
- By default, user and role permissions are consistent. If pipeline role permissions are changed, pipeline user permissions will be changed accordingly.
- If you change the pipeline user permissions, the changed permissions will take effect, because user permissions take precedence over role permissions.
Use project-level permissions
- If this function is enabled, the role permissions of a pipeline are the same as those in the project settings.
- If this function is disabled, you can customize the role permissions of a specific pipeline.
- User permissions take precedence over role permissions.
