Account and Application Templates

Updated 3 months ago by Michael Cretzman

Harness includes an account-wide Template Library, called the Shared Template Library, and an Application-wide Template Library.

Only members of a Harness User Group with the Manage Template Library permission may create, edit, and delete Account and Application-level templates. Members of a User Group with this permission disabled can view and link to templates only.

Before You Begin

Shared Template Library and Application Template Library

The Shared Template Library is available from Setup and the Application Template Library is available in each Application.

Using templates from either source works the same way, and both options are available in Harness components, but Application templates may be used within their Application only.

For example, when you click Add Command in the Service, you see the option to select a template from the Application or Shared Template Library.

Template YAML

When you look at the code for an Application containing Services or Workflows using linked templates, the YAML for the template information of the command is displayed like this:

- type: SHELL_SCRIPT
      name: DocExample
      properties:
        sweepingOutputScope: null
        connectionAttributes: null
        publishAsVar: false
        commandPath: null
        scriptType: BASH
        host: null
        scriptString: echo "Hello" ${name}
        timeoutMillis: 600000
        sshKeyRef: null
        executeOnDelegate: true
        sweepingOutputName: null
        tags: ''
      templateUri: AccountName/DocExample:latest
      templateVariables:
      - name: name
