Structure

This document describes how ORT Server is structured.

Entities​

ORT Server groups runs by repository, product, and organization. Each organization can have multiple products, and each product can have multiple repositories, and each repository can have multiple runs.

Organizations​

Organizations are a root entity. Admins of an organization can manage:

  • products
  • repositories
  • users
  • secrets
  • infrastructure services

Products​

Products are an entity to group repositories within an organization. Admins of a product can manage:

  • repositories
  • users
  • secrets

Repositories​

A repository represents a VCS repository, for example, a Git repository on GitHub. Admins of a repository can manage:

  • users
  • secrets
  • runs

Users​

To manage user rights, they can be assigned roles directly (see also Authorization) or indirectly by being members of a group.

Groups​

Groups have assigned roles. Users in the group inherit all roles from the group. Each group contains the roles of its child entity, e.g. the readers group on product level also contains the readers group for the child repositories.

Readers​

Users in the readers group can see the details of an entity and the child entities. On repository level, they can see ORT run results.

Writers​

Users in the writers group have the roles of the readers group. Additionally, they can create child entities. On repository level, they can trigger new ORT runs.

Admins​

Users in the admins group have the roles of the writers group. Additionally, they can manage secrets, infrastructure services and user groups.
