Single repository manager sections

The single repository manager view has the same sections as the overview page, however they are scoped to the single repository. This provides for granular access control of individual repository manager's configuration as well as allows for policies to be scoped to the single repository manager.

  • Configuration - Filter by repository name or format; remove a repository from configuration.

  • Policies - Set policies scoped to this specific repository manager; override actions and notifications on inherited policies.

  • Namespace Confusion Protection - configure namespaces used in this repository manager.

  • Access - allow access to repository results and configuration for this repository manager.

Single repository manager navigation

Breadcrumbs in the top navigation can be used to return to higher levels in the repository managers hierarchy. When navigating to the repository results, the back navigation will return to this view.

When in the single repository manager view the side navigation will include the proxy and hosted repositories for this repository manager. The side menu can be expanded or collapsed.

  • The proxy repository may be selected to view the repository configuration page for that proxy

  • Hosted repositories may be selected to view the hosted repository configuration page

Proxy repository configuration page

Use this summary page for proxy repository configuration to manage access to individual proxy reports and to apply policies to specific repositories. Similar to the rest of the hierarchy, access control and policy are inherent from; the Root Organization, the Repository Managers container, as well as the configuration set on the specific repository manager where the proxy is configured.

  • Follow the best practice to enable or override enforcement of policies managed at the root organization or the Repository Managers container. Enable enforcement that does not apply to all proxy repositories.

  • Set policies on a specific proxy repository that are an exception to the rest of the organization's governance policy

  • Use the access controls on the specific repository for fine-tuned access to a single proxy

  • Set violation notifications unique to this repository such as from a testing environment

Hosted repository configuration page

Use the hosted repository configuration page to configure access to the repository firewall configuration including selecting the namespaces found within the repository. The hosted repository is analyzed for the namespaces used by the components within it. Namespace protection can be enabled and disabled using a toggle.
