Team and users as blueprints

in progress

David - Port team

Manage your users and teams the same way as all your blueprints!

This will enable you to:

Add additional properties to teams and users
Create relations between user, team, and any other blueprint
See teams and users as part of your relations graph

What is left on this feature for it to be considered complete? It is frustrating having both owning teams and the teams blueprint right now.

Rory Logue Most of what is missing is around ownership settings 👍🏽

Can you elaborate more on your specific frustration?

Rory Logue

Gur Shafriri If I have a relation of team to another blueprint e.g. service, that blueprint contains teams and owning teams as a 'property'.

I don't want to use owning teams anymore, and the team blueprint would be much more powerful as a meta property.

Rory Logue Thanks for sharing! 
So our current plan is to keep owning team as a property, but it will not be added by default to blueprints anymore. 
This will keep the option to define "owning teams" either as a direct relation to the team blueprint (without creating another relation) or via team inheritance, as well as not defining owning teams at all and just create a relation to team that doesn't have to do anything with ownership. 
How does that sound to you?

Rory Logue

Gur Shafriri That sounds good - when is that due to be released please? or is that screenshot deployed already?

Hi, we've sort of implemented this ourselves to some extent.
we have users on multiple 3rd party services (Sentry, Github and a few more).
we've created a "User" entity (also Team) and a BE process that ingest data from aforementioned services into Port. the User entity is a flattening of the data - the user id in each system correlated to his email and User in Port.
Github does present a small problem as the service does not promise the existence of an email in the response - that can be mitigated by asking all developers/users to add their email to the Github user in a public manner and querying Github with the query attached below to the "graphql" endpoint

This would be great. Bitbucket doesn't provide users' email addresses via its API, so allowing us to add their UUID or Atlassian account ID would be great
