Managing the organization-related permissions
This section explains how to manage the user and group permissions related to an organization.
It’s recommended to manage the permissions through the user groups. This feature is available starting in Team plan. In addition, with the Team plan, you can manage the permissions set by default to new projects, see Managing the project-related permissions through templates.
Permissions related to an organization
| Permission Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Execute analysis | Can start an analysis on every project in the organization. This includes the ability to get all settings required to perform an analysis (including secured settings like passwords) and to push analysis results to the SonarQube Cloud server. |
| Administer Quality Gates | Can create and update quality gates that can be applied to the organization’s projects. |
| Administer Quality Profiles | Can create and update quality profiles that can be applied to the organization’s projects. |
| Create Projects | Can create new projects in the organization. |
| Administer Organization | Has full control over the organization. |
View access to organizations is not managed through permissions but depends on the organization's subscription plan: any user can view a free plan organization whereas access to a Team or Enterprise plan organization is restricted to its members.
Setting the permissions of the groups and users
You must be an organization admin to be able to manage the permissions related to your organization.
If you have a Free plan organization, you cannot change group permissions.
To set the organization-related permissions of the groups and users:
- Retrieve the organization.
- Go to Administration > Permissions. The Permissions page opens.
- In the permissions grid, select a check box to grant the corresponding permission.
Transferring ownership of an organization
As the administrator, there may be cases where you wish to transfer ownership of an organization. For example, if you are leaving a team or company, you can simply grant the Administer Organization permission to another member: see Managing the organization-related permissions.
Restoring administrator access to an organization
If you lost administrator access to your organization, send a request to oi.duolcranostcatnoc with all the necessary details.
