Notes

An author is any person who checks in code to a repository that is associated with a Bamboo plan. An author need not be a Bamboo user.Depending on your organisation's needs, you can configure Bamboo to grant access to non-users. However, only Bamboo users can:

• view the My Bamboo tab on the Dashboard.
• belong to a group.
