WAS 8.5 Admin console - Give only access to Deployment

Question

We have a shared WAS 8.5 server and we want to give only deployment access to other teams. we do not want them to change any other server configurations/options. Can we do this using WAS 8.5 Admin console?

Basically we want to create a role based access and when users log in to admin console with that role they should have access to only deployment option.

Answer 1

This is exactly deployer role, the other answer is incorrect. Deployer cannot change any server configuration options (except managing application), and cannot start/stop servers.

Deployer role

A user that is granted a deployer role can complete all of the configuration and runtime operations on an application. A deployer role can be subsets of both configurator and operator roles. However, a user granted a deployer role cannot configure or operate any other resources, such as a server, node.

In addition, if you have many servers, you can scope that role via Security > Administrative authorization groups to the selected server/cluster. In that case that user will be able to only deploy apps to that server/cluster.
