Documentation for FishEye 3.0.x. Documentation for other versions is available too.

You can grant Admin privileges to users and groups in FishEye. These privileges exist in addition to the core 'Admin' account (in FishEye/Crucible 1.6 onwards).

(warning) Be sparing in granting Admin privileges, as all Admin users have the 'keys to the kingdom'. They can add or remove other's user or group admin rights, and change the password of the core Admin account.

Setting admin privileges for individual users

Log in as the Admin user and select Administrators, under 'Security Settings' in the left navigation panel.

(warning) Take care not to remove admin rights from your own account.

 

To grant admin rights to a particular user:

  1. Select their username in the 'Non-Admin Users' column.
  2. Click Add

To remove a user's admin rights:

  1. Select their username in the 'Admin Users' column.
  2. Click Remove.

 

Setting admin privileges for groups

Log in as the Admin user and select Administrators, under 'Security Settings' in the left navigation panel.

(warning) Take care not to remove admin rights from your own account.

 

To grant admin rights to a particular group:

  1. Select the group name in the 'Non-Admin Groups' column.
  2. Click Add

To remove a groups's admin rights:

  1. Select the group name in the 'Admin Groupss' column.
  2. Click Remove.

  2. Hi there,

    It sounds like you have a new install. To log in as the 'built-in' user, using the password you provided during setup, click the Administration link in the page footer.

    How does one set an external group (i.e. say a team in an Active Directory global group) with admin privilege?
