8.10. Managing Users

One nice thing about Hudson is that it simplifies some of the boring administrative tasks you normally have to do when you maintain a CI server. For example, you don’t need to explicitly identify team members for Hudson—Hudson will figure them out by seeing who’s committing code to the source code repository. You can view these users in the “People” screen (see Figure 8-14).

Figure 8-14. Managing users in Hudson

This screen lets you do more than just see who is participating in the development effort, however. If you click on a user, Hudson will bring up a details screen where you can configure the user’s full name (for more readable screens and reports) and email address. This way, Hudson can directly notify individuals who break the build.
