Allowing a User to Share to the Marketplace¶

You can add individual users or groups of users as publishers to the Marketplace. Only users/groups that you have added will be able to publish to the Marketplace.

Note

The users that have publish rights and are also part of a user group that has publish rights will be allowed to publish as the group or as themselves.

There are two steps in order to allow a user to share appliances to the Marketplace. You must:

Ensure the user has the entitlement marketplace_share as part of one of the assigned roles. See details below.

Add the user to the organization publisher list.

Ensuring User Has Entitlement to Publish to Marketplace¶

To ensure that the user has the entitlement marketplace_share you can:

assign a new role which has the entitlement “marketplace_share” (by default the role partner has this entitlement).

add the entitlement to a role which the user has.

Note

Any changes you make to an existing role will also be applied to other users with this role.

To view the roles that are assigned to a user, use the command:

uforge user role list --account <username> -u $ADMIN -p $PASS

To view the entitlements that are part of a role, use the command:

uforge user role info --name <rolename> -u $ADMIN -p $PASS

Adding a User as Publisher to the Marketplace¶

You can add an individual user or group of users as publishers to the Marketplace. Only users/groups that you have added will be able to publish to the Marketplace.

Note

The users and groups that you want to allow to publish to Marketplace must have the marketplace_share entitlement.

To add a user or group as a publishers to the Marketplace, use the command uforge publish add:

uforge publish add --user $ADMIN --password $PASS --accounts MyGroup userA userB

In the example above, the argument --user is the account of the administrator. The argument --accounts lists the user names for the accounts you want to add to the group.

If no organization is provided, then the default organization is used.
