Access rights in Gerrit 2.13.x

The Git integration maps Gerrit access rights to TeamForge Role Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions.

How to view/access the TeamForgeGerritMappings.xml file?

In earlier versions (pre-8.1.x) of the CVS integration, mappings were established using the gerritforge.mappings properties file. For more information, see Mappings between TeamForge and Gerrit (archives).

The current mappings file TeamForgeGerritMappings.xml is located in the refs/meta/config branch of TF-Projects project . The following table shows how TeamForge RBAC permissions are now mapped to Git access rights by default.

  1. Log on to TeamForge as a Site Administrator.
  2. Select My Workspace > More > Git <hostname>.
    Note: hostname refers to the server where your Git integration is hosted.
  3. Select Projects > List.
  4. Select TF-Projects from the list of projects.
  5. Select the Branches tab.
  6. Click Browse against the refs/meta/config branch name.
The TeamForgeGerritMappings.xml file can be found here.

To make changes to the mappings, modify the TeamForgeGerritMappings.xml file in the refs/meta/config branch of TF-Projects project on the server where your CVS integration is hosted. For instance, if you want to add a user-defined category to your repository, first you need to add the user-defined category to the TeamForgeGerritMappings.xml file. For instructions, see Create a User-defined Repository Category .

Note: Make sure that the resulting XML structure complies with this schema: https://forge.collab.net/gerrit/static/TeamForgeGerritMappings-8.0.0.xsd
