Managing organization permissions
This section explains how to manage the permissions related to your SonarQube Cloud organization.
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, see Managing 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 Using permission templates.
If you lost administrator access to your organization, send a request to contact@sonarsource.com with all the necessary details.
Permissions related to an organization
The following permissions are available for an organization:
Administer organization
Has full control over the administration functions for the organization, including the following permission-related functions:
Management of the organization’s user and group permissions
Management of project template permissions
Recovery of project administrator permissions. See Recovering project admin access for more information.
Bulk apply of project permission templates. See Using Projects Management page for more information.
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. See Managing quality profiles for more details.
Execute analysis
Grants the ability to:
Retrieve all settings required to run the analysis, including secured credentials like passwords.
Push analysis results to SonarQube Cloud.
Run scans on any project in the organization, including private ones, regardless of existing project-level permissions.
Create projects
Can create new projects in 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. See Subscription plans for more information.
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 your organization. See Retrieving your organizations for more information.
Go to Permissions.
Select All, Users, or Groups to filter the results, or search for specific users or groups.
Apply permissions for users or groups by checking the boxes in the appropriate columns. The permission options are: Administer Organization, Administer Quality Gate, Administer Quality Profile, Execute Analysis, Create Projects.
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.
