Configuration Presets

In CodeScene, you can use define some configuration at server level and it can be then used by a different user (e.g. typically one with less access permissions).

Preset Management Page

You must be an admin user. Navigate to Configuation, click Code quality profiles. You can see your presets, activate/deactivate them, and create new ones.

If a preset is deactivated it won’t be selectable when configuring projects (but it will still be used by all projects that are using it already.)

When editing a preset you can also choose to delete it, but the option is only enabled when preset is not used by any project. To see the list of projects blocking the delete you can hover the delete button.

Project Group Presets

In addition to global presets, you can define presets on a project group from its Settings Presets tab. Group-scoped presets are available to projects in that group and its subgroups.

Using presets

Navigate to a project configuration page corresponding to the preset type and you will see a dropdown with the available entries.

PR Quality Gates and Coverage Quality Gates are singleton presets, one per scope. When a project uses the global setting, CodeScene applies the most specific preset available from the project’s group hierarchy, falling back to the global preset.

PR provider presets are multi-instance. Project configuration lists active presets from the global scope and the project’s group hierarchy.

Some preset types and their locations:

  • GitHub App stores GitHub App credentials without a webhook configuration. Its Host identifies which credential-free HTTPS repository URLs can use the app during cloning and analysis. See Use a GitHub App for Repository Access for setup instructions.

  • PR Quality Gates and PR Code Coverage Gates can be configured globally and per project group.

  • PR Check GitHub App can be used in PR Integration Configuration if you’ve selected Github App integration type.

  • PR Check GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, Bitbucket Server, and Gerrit presets work the same way for their respective integration types.
