I'd like to use git hooks to restrict access. How do I access the web frontend usernam?
Bonobo provides the following environment variables:
AUTH_USER
: The username used to login. Empty if it was an anonymous operation (clone/push/pull)REMOTE_USER
: Same asAUTH_USER
AUTH_USER_TEAMS
: A comma-separated list containing all the teams the user belongs to. Commas in teams name are escaped with a backslash. Backslashes are also escaped with a\
. Example: Teams 'Editors\ Architects', 'Programmers,Testers' will becomeEditors\\ Architects,Programmers\,Testers
.AUTH_USER_ROLES
: A comma-separated list containing all the roles the user belongs to. Commas in roles are escaped with a backslash. Backslashes are also escaped with a\
.AUTH_USER_DISPLAYNAME
: Given Name + Surname if available. Else the username.
Beware that due to the way HTTP basic authentication works, if anonymous operations (push/pull) are enabled the variables above will always be empty!
