Blueprint ordering permissions

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A user can order a blueprint if they are in a group assigned to it as a deploy group, and their role in that group includes the required ordering permission: order.submit by default, or a permission configured in the blueprint’s Deployment Permissions field.

Group-based access

A user can order a blueprint if:

The user is a member of a group assigned to the blueprint as a deploy group.
The user has a role in that group that includes the order.submit permission.

Add group permissions on blueprints

Go to Catalog and open a blueprint to edit.
Go to the Groups tab and select Edit.
Choose the groups that can Deploy or Manage and deploy, and decide whether to enable Any group can deploy.
Select Save changes.

The “Any group can deploy” permission

To edit the “Any group can deploy” checkbox, you must have the blueprint.any_group_can_deploy permission. On new installations this permission is not included in any role by default, so an administrator must add it to a role. (On instances upgraded from an earlier release, it is granted to any role that already had blueprint.manage.) Assign it with caution: selecting the checkbox allows any group to order the blueprint.

Export and upload blueprints

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The CloudBolt Forge is a repository of sample CMP content. Exported blueprints are typically stored as zip files that contain JSON-formatted metadata about the blueprint, along with its related items and actions.

Exporting blueprints

You can export a blueprint from the Catalog page or by using the API. To export from the Catalog page:

In CMP, select Catalog.
Select the blueprint you wish to export.
Select Manage blueprint.
On the Overview tab, select Export.
You are prompted to enter an optional password for secret encryption. See Secrets stored in blueprints below. Decide whether or not you wish to provide a password (must be at least 12 characters long) and select Next.
Choose Export blueprint in sanitized format, or Export with instance-specific info from this CloudBolt. The sanitized version omits potentially sensitive information, or details that may not make sense when importing into a different instance, such as environments and groups.

Exported blueprint contents

Exports include all build and teardown blueprint items, any discovery configurations, all blueprint-specific resource actions, and all action scripts used by those actions.
