Connections are used to configure Release to integrate with third-party applications. Connections are integration credentials that store authentication information required for Release plugins to securely communicate with third-party applications.
Release uses a role-based access control (RBAC) model. Teams can be defined on each folder, template, or release—for example, a Development team, a QA team, an OPS team, and a Release Management team—and permissions are assigned to those teams at the folder, template, and release levels. Permissions defined at the folder level are inherited by all templates and releases within it. Teams can also be configured directly on individual templates or releases that are not in a folder.
