Map Git Users to MDCMS Users

If developers have different user IDs on the Git server than in MDCMS, their IDs can be mapped so that object requests created by the CI process are attributed to the correct MDCMS user. User Mapping is also used to specify the User Name and Email for authors and committers when committing occurs via the Git Commit Template.

In MDOpen: DevOps Settings → Git Repositories → [select repository] → User Mapping

Repository User

The user ID of the account on the Git server. This value is case-sensitive.

MDCMS User

The user ID of the corresponding user registered in MDCMS (via MDSEC) that requests should be attributed to. Use content-assist to select from the list.

Committer Name

The name of the Author when MDCMS performs a commit. If the Git Commit Template doesn't have a committer defined, then this name will also be used for the Committer. This value is case-sensitive.

Committer Email

The Email Address of the Author when MDCMS performs a commit. If the Git Commit Template doesn't have a committer defined, then this address will also be used for the Committer. This value is case-sensitive.

Repo ID

The scope of the mapping.

  • *ANY — Apply this mapping for any repository that contains the specified Repository User and a specific mapping entry doesn't exist.
  • Specific Repo ID — Restrict the mapping to a single named repository. Use content-assist to select from the list.
