Setting the projet permissions of users and groups

On this page

When a project is created, a set of permissions defined through a permission template is applied by default. You can update these permissions provided you're a project admin.

Updating or resetting the permissions of your project

You can update the permissions manually or reset them by applying a permission template defined by the System Administrator. 

To update the permissions of your project

  1. Retrieve the project.
  2. Go to Project settings > Permissions. The Permissions page opens.
  3. To apply a permission template:
    1. Select the Apply Permission Template button in the top right corner of the page. The Apply Permission Template dialog opens.
    2. Select the template you want to apply and select the Apply button.
  4. To update the permissions manually, select a check box on a user or group row to change the respective permission.

If permissions are synchronized automatically

Project permission synchronization is enabled if you use GitHub, GitLab, or SCIM's automatic user and group provisioning mode in SonarQube. In that case, you cannot change the project permissions of auto-provisioned users. However, you can remove the permissions of local users (Local users are all the users who are not managed through the automatic provisioning process, i.e. manually created users and through another identity provider Just-in-Time-provisioned users.).
