Access to create a pipeline

Question

What kind of access we need to create YAML pipeline, I am not seeing option to create new pipeline.

Answer 1

Hi Diptesh Kumar

Could you please check your Permissions for your project by navigating to Pipelines -> Manage security -> Permissions for <your project>

Ensure you have Project Administrator, Build Administrator, or Contributor access to create and manage pipelines. Also, make sure the permission is set to Allow.

Hi Diptesh Kumar

1. Could you check your access level in your organization. Go to organization settings -> Users -> Ensure your access level is set to Basic or Early Adopter.
2. Verify if you are part of Build Administrator or Project Administrator by navigating to Project Settings -> Permissions. If not, ask the admin to grant you the access.
3. Navigate to Organization settings -> Permissions -> Under Pipelines section make sure all settings are set to Allow.

If possible, please share the screenshot of your permissions.

Hope this helps!
