Project and Distro Settings
The Project and Distro settings pages can be found at the right side dropdown on the navigation menu. All users can access the distro settings page and Project Admins and Superusers can access the project settings page.
Superusers can be set in the Evergreen settings file and have access to all Evergreen projects and Evergreen distro settings.
Project Administrators have access to specific projects that they maintain and can be set by an Evergreen Superuser in the Project Settings page for that specific project. After adding the user's Evergreen username to the list of Administrators, that user will be able to access the Project Settings page for that project only and modify repository information, access settings, alerts, and keys.
The Project Settings file displays information about the Project itself, as well as configurable fields for managing your project
There are two types of users that can view and edit these settings: Superusers and Project Admins.
If a Project Administrator wants Evergreen to discontinue or start tracking a project, it can be changed via the Enabled and Disabled radio buttons. The display name field corresponds to what users will see in the project dropdown on the navigation bar. Admins can change the location or name of the config file in the repository if they would like to have Evergreen run tests using a different project file located elsewhere, or if they move the config file. The batch time corresponds to the interval of time (in minutes) that Evergreen should wait in between activating the latest version.
Admins can modify which GitHub repository the project points to and change the owner, repository name, or branch that is to be tracked by Evergreen.
Admins can set a project as private or public. A private project can only be seen by logged in users. A public project is viewable to those who are not logged in as well. To set a Project Administrator edit the Admin list (which can only be viewable by Superusers or Project Admins for the project) for the probject by adding the Evergreen username to the list and saving the project settings.
Admins can enable the ability to unschedule old tasks if a more recent commit passes.
Admins can set up email alerts for different events by adding an action and inputting the email address to send the email alert to.
Admins can store project variables that can be referenced in the config file via an expansion.
The Distros page allows all users to see all available distros a project can run tasks on. As a superuser or admin, one can also add new distro configurations to be used by other users.
TODO
Superusers can specify shell scripts to be run at the end of a dynamic host's life, just before it is terminated. Errors encountered during execution will be logged in the host's even log and broadcasted to all Evergreen administrators. Please note that if the host is taken away without Evergreen's knowledge (e.g. a spot price increase takes an EC2 host away), the teardown script will not be executed.
