This document provides step by step instructions to obtain an archive of the PIM Enterprise Edition.

#Give access to the project console

#The project console

The project console is the place in the Akeneo Portal where you can manage access to your project such as the Enterprise Repository and get the bootstrap archive. It can also be used to configure your cloud instances and helpdesk access.

#Add developers to the project console

Supervisors or project managers can allow developers to work on the Akeneo PIM project source code.

The users that are allowed to access the project console are named the console users.

As a supervisor, you are able to create new users on the portal and add them to the console user group so that they can access the project console. You can do it by going to My Company / Contacts / Add Contact, choose if the contact is from your company or an external contact, fill in the form, select the Console user group and create it by clicking on the Create contact button.

#Access to the project on the project console

If you don't have access to the project and if you are neither a supervisor nor a project manager, you should ask the Project Manager to get you listed under the Enterprise Repository / SSH Key Access subtab. You can check who the project manager is in the properties tab of the Project, you can also check who the supervisor is within your company by going on My Company / General Information and looking in the Supervisors section.

• To access the Console, from the Akeneo Portal, go to Project console / Projects
• Choose the corresponding project

#Give access to the Enterprise Repository

When you start a project, you need to get the bootstrap archive from the Enterprise Repository. You will need to install Akeneo PIM from this archive which can only be done by users whose ssh keys have been added to the Enterprise Repository. The access to the Enterprise Repository is handled by composer and git.

#Import my public key

Each user wanting to get the bootstrap archive has to share their SSH public key with Akeneo first.

1. Login to the Akeneo Portal
2. Click on your Username in the top right corner.
3. Select Manage Public Keys
4. Click on Add public key
5. Give the key a name, an email and the associated public key file content (usually located at ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)
6. Click on save

#Add permissions to install the project with the public keys

As a project manager or a supervisor, you can allow console users to access the project by selecting their SSH Key for the project. Each developer who accesses the Enterprise Repository needs to have their ssh key authorized. Each SSH Key needs to be linked to a console user.

5. After the form has been filled, click on Add contact key
6. Each time a console user joins a new project, an email is sent to inform them of the access granted.

#Add access to your enterprise repository to a new contact

Supervisors or Project Managers have the possibility to create a new contact from this form. It is possible to attach this contact directly to your company or to declare it as external. The external contact will be visible from the contacts of your company and will be removed from your company if they are no longer linked to your company. For example, if you delete their access.

1. Click on the Add contact key button
