Who can run documentation and how do I change that setting?

Last updated on Nov 10, 2025

Short Answer: Open Settings → Documentation settings and update “Who can run documentation” checkboxes (Anyone (members), Admins, Owners), then click “Save changes.”

Prerequisites

  1. You must have permission to edit CodeDoc settings (Admin/Owner role may be required)

Steps

  1. Open the CodeDoc page and select the Settings tab.
    The Settings view for CodeDoc is displayed.

  2. Under “Documentation settings,” find “Who can run documentation.”
    Checkboxes for “Anyone (members),” “Admins,” and “Owners” are visible.

  3. Check or uncheck the boxes to grant or restrict run permissions.
    Your selection reflects who can run documentation.

  4. Click the blue “Save changes” button to apply the updated permissions.
    Settings are saved and take effect for subsequent documentation runs.

Troubleshooting

  1. I cannot change the checkboxes or “Save changes” is disabled.
    LikelyCause: You do not have the required account role to edit these settings.
    Action: Ask an Admin/Owner in your organization to update the setting, or sign in with an account that has permission.

  2. Users still cannot run documentation after changes.
    LikelyCause: Permissions may take a few moments to propagate, or the user is outside affected scope.
    Action: Have affected users sign out/in again; confirm the correct boxes were checked and the correct repository/branch is targeted.
