Manage groups

2 minute read

You can organize your pipelines in CloudBees Release Orchestration SaaS using groups. Pipelines, regardless of their definition, can be placed in the same group. Pipeline groups are useful for setting up user access in a specific project. You can move pipelines from one group to another, and you can control user access at both the group and pipeline levels.

To return to the Pipeline composer UI, select Back to Pipeline composer on the upper right of Groups.
