What is the Purpose of SloopEngine Permission?
A SloopEngine Permission is an authorization granted to a user that allows the user to access specific credentials, nodes, and repositories. This permission can be used to launch both an SSH session and an IDE session.
Understanding SloopEngine Permission
A SloopEngine Permission is a combination of several components that work together to control access to resources in the SloopEngine platform. The components include a Credential, a Node, a Repository, and a User. A Credential is a sensitive piece of information that is used to authenticate a user's identity when connecting to a Node via SSH. It is used to confirm the user's identity and allow access to the Node.
A Node refers to a host machine, virtual machine, or container that can be accessed using a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or an IP address. It is the resource that the user is trying to access. A Repository refers to a Git repository that contains the software source code that the user wants to develop. It is the codebase that the user is trying to access. A User is the person or group that is trying to access the resources.
With SloopEngine Permission, you can control access to these resources by allowing or denying access for a specific user. The Permission can be used to launch an SSH session or an IDE session, allowing the user to access the Node and Repository accordingly.
Once permission is assigned to a specific user permission will be displayed in the My Permission section. Permission assigned user go to my permission and then access the IDE and SSH session which is allocated to them.
