Creating a teamspace

You can create a teamspace in HCL DevOps Loop to provide your team with a dedicated, secure workspace that automatically spans across all the capabilities like Plan, Control, Code, Build, Test, Deploy, and Measure.

Before you begin

Ensure that the following prerequisites are completed:

  • You are added to the User group in Keycloak.
  • Ensure that you have administrative privileges in DevOps Loop.

Procedure

  1. Log in to DevOps Loop.
  2. Click the Create TeamSpace button.

    Alternatively, select the Switch Teamspace icon and click + Create TeamSpace.

    The Teamspace creation page is displayed along with the Define Teamspace and Invite Members tabs.
  3. Perform the following steps in the Define Teamspace tab.
    1. Provide a name in Enter Teamspace Name. The maximum character limit is 20.
    2. Optional: Provide a brief description of the teamspace in Description.
  4. Click Next.
    The Invite Members tab is displayed.
  5. Perform the following steps in the Invite Members tab.
    1. Search members with a valid email address or select them from the dropdown list and click Add.
    2. Type the email address of the members who are not in the Keycloak user directory and click Add.
  6. Click Create.
    The Teamspace setup progress page is displayed, showing each phase of the setup. DevOps Loop begins provisioning the TeamSpace across all integrated capabilities.
    Note: A Control repository is added to Build, and a webhook is set up in Control to synchronize data between Control and Build.

    • If the members already exist in the Keycloak user directory, they are directly added as members in the teamspace.

    • If the members do not exist in the Keycloak user directory, an invitation email is automatically triggered after the teamspace is created.
      Note: You can add multiple members to your invite list.
    If an error occurs during teamspace creation, an error message is displayed with options to Retry or Cancel and retry later. Click Retry to attempt the operation again. If the problem persists, check the tenant server pod logs and the logs for the associated product components to obtain additional information.
    Note: The error badge indicates that the teamspace setup is incomplete or has configuration issues.
