Enable and Install DevOps Center in the Org
Enable DevOps Center to provide the permissions needed to install the DevOps Center package in the org. You can install DevOps Center in the org that is the final release org in your pipeline, or in another org that is unrelated to the orgs in the pipeline.
Required Editions
| Available in: Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Professional (API access required), Unlimited, and Developer Editions. |
| Available in: Government Cloud Plus as interoperable. Turning on DevOps Center in Government Cloud Plus orgs can send data outside the authorization boundary. Contact your Salesforce account executive for more details. |
| Not available in: EU Operating Zone. EU Operating zone is a special paid offering that provides an enhanced level of data residency commitment. DevOps Center is supported in orgs in the EU that aren’t part of EU OZ, per standard product terms and conditions. |
To install DevOps Center in a Professional Edition org, the org must have API access, which enables DevOps Center to access data from the source control system. If you attempt to install DevOps Center in a Professional Edition org without API access, an installation error occurs. Contact your Account Executive to request the API add-on.
| User Permissions Needed | |
|---|---|
| To install and configure DevOps Center: | “Download AppExchange Packages” |
- From Setup, enter DevOps Center in the Quick Find box, then select
DevOps Center.
If you don’t see DevOps Center as an option under Setup in your Developer Edition org, it’s likely that the DE org was created before DevOps Center was introduced and doesn’t have the correct permissions. To continue, create another Developer Edition org.
- Enable DevOps Center, and then review and accept the opt-in terms.
You can disable the preference at any time. Disabling the preference means that you can’t install the app or updates. If DevOps Center is already installed, disabling the preference prevents access to the DevOps Center application.
- Click Install Package.
After the installer launches, you’re guided through the installation process to install the latest version of the DevOps Center managed package. You can come back to this Setup page to reinstall or upgrade the package.
- Select Install for Admins Only, and then click Install.
- Approve third-party access to login.salesforce.com and test.salesforce.com.
Next, create an external client app so that DevOps Center appears in App Launcher, then be sure to assign the appropriate DevOps Center permission sets to each team member.
- Confirm DevOps Center Package Installation
When installation is complete, you receive a confirmation email. You can confirm the installation on the Installed Packages Setup page. - Create an External Client App
External client apps provide single sign-on (SSO) and use OAuth protocols to authorize third-party applications. When you configure the app and assign appropriate permission sets, DevOps Center appears in the App Launcher. - Add Team Members as Users in the DevOps Center Org
Add any team members who aren’t already users in the DevOps Center org. For each team member, specify the appropriate license and profile based on their role. - Assign the DevOps Center Permission Sets
Assign permission sets to everyone working on your project in DevOps Center. Consider who must change project-level settings (such as adding another work environment) and who needs access to only work items. - Configure Session Settings
Due to the underlying technologies that support creating sessions that allow DevOps Center to interact with multiple environments in a project’s pipeline, IP addresses aren’t static. Therefore, you must disable the session setting, Lock sessions to the IP address from which they originated, to avoid seeing errors when attempting to commit and promote changes. - Disable API Access Control Setting for Allowlisted Connected Apps
For orgs with API Access Control settings enabled by Salesforce Support, you must disable the “For admin-approved users, limit API access to only allowlisted connected apps” because this setting blocks DevOps Center from interacting with required APIs.
