About groups

Bamboo groups are used to specify which users will have global permissions and plan permissions. They can also be used to specify which users will receive notifications about a plan's build results.

A special group called bamboo-admin is automatically created when you install Bamboo. Members of this group have Bamboo administration rights.

About permissions

A plan permission is the ability to perform a particular operation in relation to a build plan. For each plan, different permissions can be granted to particular groups and/or users.

A global permission is the ability to perform a particular operation in relation to Bamboo as a whole.
