Vault - FinalBuilder Integration: Vault exposing permisions

[greenstone]

Hi,

We user FinalBuilder as our automated build platform and Vault Standard as the source control.

We use the Vault feature that limits developers permission (using the Vault admin console) to only check-in to their own branch (so only the build master can build the "production" branch).

I would like to use the "FinalBuilder Server" which allows developers to login into the FinalBuilder Server web site and fire off builds--but only on their branch.

Is there a call to ask (from FinalBuilder) to Vault (e.g. via the command line call of the vault .exe) if a user has permission on a branch? (so if the user doesn't have permission the FinalBuilder would reject the build attempt)

Thanks!

We don't officially support FinalBuilder, so we haven't tested it.

Does the build use a particular Vault account?

Yes, we have a "build" Vault user that the FinalBuilder (on the build machine) uses to checkout/checkin files.

But maybe we could pass in the "Vault" username to checkout/checkin files. If we did that, is there a way to ask Vault (via the command-line call to Vault) "does this user have checkin permissions to a given branch?"?

If we coud ask Vault this, we could setup the FinalBuilder to terminate if an "unallowed" user trys to do a build of a branch.

Do you have Folder Security enabled? If so, then if the build logs into Vault with a Vault user account like "Bill" or "Linda" and "Bill"
had no access to ProjectA, then the build would fail if it tried to get ProjectA.

Is that what you're looking for?
