Configure Role-Based Access

Intermediate10 min readUpdated December 2024Engineering LeadersPlatform Engineers

Set up permissions and access controls for different team roles.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A Zof account - Sign up free
  • Access to your code repository (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket)
  • Node.js 18+ or Python 3.9+

What you'll achieve

By the end of this guide, you will have:

  • Installed and authenticated the Zof CLI
  • Connected Zof to your project
  • Run your first reliability test
  • Viewed results in the Zof dashboard

Step 1: Install the Zof CLI

Open your terminal and install the CLI globally:

bash
npm install -g @zof/cli

Verify the installation:

bash
zof --version

Expected result: zof/2.x.x

Step 2: Authenticate with Zof

Connect the CLI to your Zof account:

bash
zof login

This opens your browser to complete authentication. Once authorized, you'll see:

text
✓ Authenticated as your@email.com

Tip

Use a service account token for CI rather than your personal token. You can create one at Settings → API Tokens in the Zof dashboard.

Step 3: Initialize your project

Navigate to your project directory and initialize Zof:

bash
cd your-project
zof init

Zof creates a zof.config.json file with sensible defaults for your project type.

Step 4: Run your first test

Execute a quick validation:

bash
zof run --quick

This runs a subset of agents for fast feedback (full runs take longer but are more comprehensive).

Note

The --quick flag runs only smoke and sanity agents. Use zof run without flags for a comprehensive test.

Verify it works

  1. Open app.zof.ai
  2. Navigate to Results
  3. You should see your first test run with findings categorized by severity

You should see: A results summary showing reliability score, issues found, and test coverage.

Troubleshooting

Cause: Your session may have expired or been revoked.

Solution: Run zof logout followed by zof login to re-authenticate.

Cause: You're not in a project directory or zof init wasn't run.

Solution: Navigate to your project root and run zof init.

Cause: Running full suite instead of quick mode.

Solution: Use zof run --quick for faster feedback during development, or configure specific agents in zof.config.json.
