Deployer permissions

mangar — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 15:46:33 GMT

All, I have 3 File Deployment Receivers, one for Dev, one for Test, and one for Production. Is there a way to set up so that our web developer can use the Dev and Test deployer, but not the Production one? I want only our head of marketing to be able to deploy to Production.any ideas?

Yes. There's an attribute to say "test server" or "live server". You can only deploy a staging sandbox to a live server, that's the one for your "marketing head".

Thank You, but I have a little more….

I should mention that this a PHP app (I know, I tried to get it JSP) and it's on the cloud, and we have a very restrictive firewall that the operations department will not budge blah, blah, blah. The whole virtual server is out.

I have it set up so that the "Test Server" deployer called Dev works fine. he can submit to the staging sandbox, and deploy to the "live" server Stage.

What i need is at that point, the director of marketing to approve the site and deploy it to Production. However, when I set up the workflows, the manager is one who must approve to deploy to staging, which is definitely not what I want.

Is there a way to set up a "Production Sandbox" that only the Manager can deploy from? Or anyone can deploy from, but the manager needs to approve from Stage to Production, and not be bothered fro Dev to Stage.

It looks like Alfresco is set up as a 2-tier system and I need 3.

Any ideas?
