Important changes to Linked Repositories that affect usage and permissions

Linked repositories are now the preferred way to define and share repository configuration between plans in Bamboo. As a result, we've made two changes that you should be aware of:

  • When users create plans, they are only given the option to create Linked Repositories.
  • Users will need the Create Plan  global permission in order to create Linked Repositories.

In the long term, Atlassian plans to deprecate the repository configuration defined against the plan. These configurations can be converted to Linked repositories by clicking Convert to linked repository in each plan's repository configuration page.

Bamboo allows you to share credentials for code repositories by supplying the SSH key and passphrase that you want to use to access the repository.

Any credentials shared in this way will be available to every plan on your Bamboo server.

To create shared credentials:

  1. Click the  icon in the Bamboo header and choose Overview.
  2. Select Shared credentials > Add shared credentials:


  3. Complete the following fields:

    Display nameThe name of your credential set. For example, 'Jim's Creds'
    SSH KeyThe SSH private key you want to use to access the repository
    SSH PassphraseThe passphrase to use to access the SSH private key
  4. Click Save credentials to save your changes
