Better team management for feeds

[harald.s.hanssen_9685]

Hi.
I've just started using the Active Directory plugin for ProGet and I've noticed that setting up the security is really a hassle.

What I'm missing is something similar to how TeamCity and Octopus Deploy manages their users.

What I'd like to do:
Create a team
Add 1 or multiple Feeds
Add a Task
Add members from Active Directory

As it is now, I can only setup security per feed, which is a monumental task at my company since we have 7 (more to come) feeds, 20 +/- developers and so forth.

Product: ProGet
Version: 4.8.6

I'm not sure I understand where the "hassle" is?

Is it the "Add Privilege" dialog only lets you create a privilege for one feed a time, and thus you'd need to perform that action 7 times (more to come) in the future?

F.ex
Person A needs view and download access to two feeds or more,
Person B needs manage access to four feeds,
Person C administers six feeds, but not all feeds
Person D, E, F, G needs the same rights as person A.
Person H needs same rights as C.
And so forth.

The security would be a lot more manageable if ProGet defines teams, which you can either add a AD user or AD group. In the team, you define which feeds are accessible with a specific security level.

We don't have access to add or remove AD users in a AD group, that's something a third party does for us + it makes the management really annyoing.

I see, so the actual problem is that you don't have the ability to create or manage AD Groups? Yes, that is certainly annoying...

You will probably be better off working within your organization to change this policy. It's awfully silly, and totally defeats the purpose of using AD to begin with.

That said, we will consider adding a "teams" feature for a future version.
