Organization Administrators
Organization Admin Capabilities
Organization Members Management
Includes support for Confluence, GitLab, Jira, Mattermost, and Argo CD.
In the Organization Members section, Organization Admins have the ability to manage the roles and teams of organization members. This feature is accessible through the Organization Members section of the Organization.
This feature is accessible to SmoothGlue Admins through the Organization Management view.
Limitations: Team management is limited by the capabilities of the tools that support this feature. For more information, see the Teams Management section of the user manual.
Projects Management
Includes support for Jira, Mattermost, and Argo CD.
Projects in SmoothGlue Console represent real-world projects and are comprised of project-specific tools (e.g., Project Tools) from the supported platform tools. By creating projects and grouping Project Tools within them, Organization Admins can grant Organization Members access to all necessary resources that are required to deliver on their mission. Custom project tools can also be included to facilitate quick access to any other relevant URL.
In addition to project tools, SmoothGlue projects contain applications. An application is a deployable collection of software defined in a manifest. Multiple applications can be associated with a SmoothGlue project.
Add New Project
This feature allows Organization Admins to create new projects within SmoothGlue Console. They have the option of a quick setup, which creates a project and, optionally, a new representation of it within the supported tools, under Project Tools. An advanced setup is also available, which includes quick setup steps and allows the addition of existing Project Tools from the supported tools, as well as the linking of custom project tools for organization members to access. This feature is accessible through the Projects section of the Organization.
This feature is accessible to SmoothGlue Admins through the Organization Management view.
Edit Project Tool
This function enables Organization Admins to modify the alias of an existing Project Tool within a project for easier recognition within the project's context. This change will not affect the actual Project Tool outside of the SmoothGlue Console or in other projects; it will only update the representation of the Project Tool within this specific project. This feature is accessible through the Projects section of the Organization.
This feature is accessible to SmoothGlue Admins through the Organization Management view.
Add Project Tool
Organization Admins can add project tools to a project after it has already been created. They have three options for performing this action: adding a New Project Tool to create a new instance within a supported tool, linking an Existing Project Tool already in use within the organization, or integrating a Custom Project Tool by providing its URL.This feature is accessible through the Projects section of the Organization.
This feature is accessible to SmoothGlue Admins through the Organization Management view.
Delete Project
Deleting a project in SmoothGlue Console can be done through the Project Management interface. Deleting a project will only remove the project's representation inside SmoothGlue Console for all members of the organization but will not delete the project tools it contains, except for the custom project tools. Project tools within the supported tools can be later linked to another project, if necessary. This feature is accessible through the Projects section of the Organization.
This feature is accessible to SmoothGlue Admins through the Organization Management view.
Applications
Currently, SmoothGlue Admins with platform administration credentials must create associated projects and applications within Argo CD. SmoothGlue Console will discover the relevant, existing applications at runtime.
Organization Tools Integration
Includes support for Confluence, GitLab, Jira, Mattermost, and Argo CD.
Organization Admins have access to the Organization Tools section. This centralized view within SmoothGlue Console provides a quick overview of the functionalities available in each integrated tool, as well as direct access to them.
This feature is accessible to SmoothGlue Admins through the Organization Management view.
Limitations: Jira, Confluence, and Argo CD do not offer an organization-level view within their interfaces; for these tools, users will be redirected to the home screen of each tool.
