Bamboo currently provides 5 basic permissions that can be applied on a per-plan basis:

• View
• Edit
• build
• Clone
• Admin

We have the need for a sixth:

• Pass Manual Stages

And Ideally this would be a per-stage permission

We use manual stages for deployment and verification steps. However our organization enforces strict segregation of duties, so a Developer may never deploy to non-dev environments. That is why we would like to add our deployment team's group to specific manual stages.

This would give us the future flow of:

1. Stage 1 (build, test and tag)
   1. Developer releases current version from Jira
   2. Release invokes a build in Bamboo
      1. Checkout latest
      2. Run unit and acceptance tests
      3. Report on code coverage, findbugs, pmd
      4. Tag JIra version (1.2.2-SNAPSHOT) in VCS
2. Stage 2 - Manual (deploy to Dev)
   1. Execute deployment scripts (Developers or Deployers only)
3. Stage 3 - Manual (deploy to Test or Performance)
   1. Execute deployment scripts (Deployers only)
