rBuilder:Project Owner

From rPath Wiki

Users can read, download from, and watch a project without becoming a member. Membership is required to conduct package and appliance development activities in the project. rBuilder has two roles for members of a project: project owner and developer.

An rBuilder project member who is a project owner can do the following tasks.

• Add and remove project members
• Handle membership requests from rBuilder users
• Promote and demote project members
• Manage project permissions on groups
• All appliance development activities in the project
• Manage releases

Taking on Project Owner Status

An rBuilder user can become a project owner in one of the following ways:

• The member is a developer who is promoted to project owner by another project owner
• The rBuilder user is added as a project owner by another project owner
• The rBuilder user requests membership on a project and the approving project owner makes the user a project owner

A project must have at least one project owner in order to have other members (project owners or developers).

Resigning as a Project Owner

A project owner can resign a project provided one of the following conditions apply:

• Another project owner exists
• Another member is promoted to project owner (Promote and Demote Members)
• The project owner is the last member to leave the project (Orphans and Adopting)

If all members have abandoned a project (project owners and developers), it is considered an orphaned project and can be adopted by another user. The adopting user will immediately become a project owner for the project.
