About users and authors
An author is any person who contributes to a build by checking-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:About groups
Bamboo groups are used to specify which users will have global permissions and plan permissions. They can also be used to specify which users will receive notifications about a plan's build results. You can create and delete as many groups as you need. You will typically create at least one group per project.
A special group called bamboo-admin is automatically created when you install Bamboo. Members of this group have Bamboo administration rights.
About permissions
A Plan permission is the ability to perform a particular operation in relation to a Plan and its Jobs. For each Plan, different permissions can be granted to particular groups and/or users. A global permission is the ability to perform a particular operation in relation to Bamboo as a whole.Related Topics

Mar 05, 2010Isn't there a section missing on Security Settings? For instance, I can't find any reference to Enable Restricted Administrator Role on these pages. What does that do? Also note typo on Restrcited. This is on 2.5. Thanks.

Sept 01, 2010Hi Bob,
The
Restricted Administrator Rolewas originally developed for the JIRA Studio integration. The permission in question grants access to 'Builds' administration: permission to delete plans and access to plan permissions for every plan - but not administer Bamboo.Cheers,
Ajay.
