Set up RBAC and ownership

Define roles and permissions​

Port allows you to define roles and permissions to users, in order to control who can view, edit, and delete components in your portal.

  • Assign roles to users in your organization, defining their permissions when operating in the portal.

  • Define your software catalog's RBAC. This allows you to define CRUD permissions for each blueprint in your catalog.

  • The final type of RBAC is self-service actions permissions. Port allows you to define which users can execute and/or approve actions in your portal.
    Since we have not yet set up any self-service actions, this step should be done in the next section.

Define ownership​

Ownership is a way to assign responsibility for a specific entity in your software catalog.
Each entity can be assigned to one or more teams of users.

Ownership can also be used to enforce permissions, as it allows you to make sure developers can only perform actions or view entities that are owned by their team.

See the documentation for more information.

Next step - set up scorecards & dashboards​

Once you have set up RBAC and ownership, proceed to the next step to define scorecards and create dashboards in your portal.
