We are working on setting up Urban Code deploy throughout the company. We are looking for anyone who has information in regards to Security practices for setting up different team/roles within UC Deploy.

Thanks in advance!

UCD has a team/role based security system, you can check more details here:

My sugestion is that you make a good intial work regarding how you like to divide the access right

My recomendation is that you create roles for each type of situation you like to combine

Example roles can be

Environmental access roles;

PROD -> access to producvtion environments

TEST -> access to development environments

DEV -> access to development environment

Functional Roles;

Deployer -> able to run deployment processes

Operator -> able to stop/start

Functional administrative roles;

Administrator

Proces developer

Here is a good article on the UrbanCode Deploy security model.

Christopher,

In addition to what Max posted, we include those roles in the delivery stream on the teams so they can receive notifications and approve/reject deployments.  These include roles like QA and Manager.

And of course, the answer we all hear - "it depends".  How you are currently structured and if/how that will change as a part of your urbanCode implementation (which is probably a part of your organization's DevOps transformation), will all be a factor in how it eventually will be structured.

What I have seen is that UCD is very flexible, it's just a matter of learning how and where to make it happen.
